Hi all. I`ve got such problem: default_mail_env = mbox:%h/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/domain.net.ua/%n - it works. But when I say: default_mail_env = mbox:%h/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%d/%n - it not.

Settings for mail_chroot and default_mail_env are not playing well together. It seems that default_mail_env is verified to exist *before* the chroot but is later used *after* the chroot. A configuration like this: * mail_chroot = /var/mail/example.com/username * default_mail_env = maildir:/Maildir Fails with the message: * stat(/M...

...nment.# I am using Fedora Core 2 with version dovecot-0.99.10.5-0.FC2 My users all have an NFS mounted home directory, and all mail is delivered to ~Mail/.mailbox it is all mbox format. I would like to put the indexes on the local system in /var/indexes/{username}. So I set these parameters for default_mail_env : mbox:~/Mail/:INBOX=~/Mail/.mailbox Which produced the error : imap(test): stat() failed with mbox file ~/Mail/.mailbox: No such file or directory I set the mail environment back to default, linked inbox to .mailbox in the ~/Mail directory and all worked fine. Is there a better way to do this...

I just installed Dovecot on Debian and everyting seems to be working fine except for the fact that it can't seem to find my mails when I log in. All my mails are stored in the file ~/mail/Inbox. In the dovecot.conf file I put: default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u and it's not working. What is the part: mbox:~/mail/ for ? and what is the part: INBOX=/var/mail/%u for ? I read the documentation but I don't understand. Can anyone help me ?

Situation is the following: the mbox files are in the users homedirectory (~/MailImap), automounted via nfs In dovecot.conf I've set default_mail_env = mbox:%h/MailImap:INBOX=/var/mail/%u It works perfect without a value in Firefox' setting 'IMAP server directory' but in all clients tis is set to '~/MailImap' so it doesnt show subfolders I already tried to symlink various things in the MailImap directory and different va...

...ut I think it was cyrus and it worked perfect out of the box no configurations to do. The new cyrus-imapd is not so simple so I got dovecot. I see examples saying to use mbox=~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u but when I try that I cannot map mail folders that reside under ~/mail. I have tried default_mail_env = maildir:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u which is the setup i have now. I get this error when trying to connect via evolution error while scanning folders in "IMAP server localhost" imap command failed. invalid mask. when I use...

I was thinking about renaming default_mail_env to something that is more understandable. I'll keep it working for backwards compatibility anyway. How about: # Location for users' mailboxes. This is the same as the old default_mail_env # setting. The default is empty, which means that Dovecot tries to find the # mailboxes automatically....

All, I'm trying to teach dovecot to use the mbox format for /var/mail/%u and maildir for /home/%u/Mail/ but I'm having quite a hard time. This is Dovecot v1.0.beta3 under OpenBSD 3.9 on sparc64. I've been fiddling with default_mail_env and also tried separate namespaces, but all to no avail. Here's some of the things I tried : default_mail_env = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir:INBOX=mbox:/var/mail/%u ... default_mail_env = INBOX=mbox:/var/mail/%u:MAIL=maildir:/home/%u/Maildir/ ... namespace private { separator = / p...

...rst, I am new to dovecot. Before my Jan '08 meltdown, sendmail was sufficient. A friend set up dovecot and since things just-worked, I was happy with that. Now I have a new mailserver and what was installed nearly two years ago fails. My pal installed things in dovecot.conf this way: default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir but the new mail environment is too different to be readily understood. --At least for me!-- The "%u" variable is confusing; so in the "%h" ($HOME [?]) variable...

Hallo, I am playing arround with dovecot I hat version 1.0.beta7 running fine. After installing beta9 there is a problem with default_mail_env setting. I have all users in ldap. there is an attribute "mailMessageStore" which contains a relative path to users maildir mailMessageStore: sca/ my mailer completes this relative pathinformation to /var/mail/sca/ therefor I setup default_mail_env to "maildir:/var/mail/%h" d...

...e have just transitioned from UW-IMAP. Thus all users are currently still mbox users. I would like to transition them to maildir users (this was the main point for me switching servers), and I chose dovecot because it could simultaneously support both formats. My dovecot.conf uses auto_detect (no default_mail_env defined, by choice). Auto-detect is working fine for mbox users, as shown by this (edited) log snippet: dovecot: imap(janeuser): maildir: couldn't find root dir dovecot: imap(janeuser): mbox: root exists (/Home/janeuser/mail) dovecot: imap(janeuser): mbox: INBOX exists (/var/mail/janeuser)...

...parameters file /default/configured/directory/ssl-parameters.dat.tmp: No such file or directory" I know what the error is, and how to fix it, but it's an SSL thing which should have been disable according the config file, correct? It would seem that if you surround the value given to default_mail_env in quotes (as listed in the sample config file) you get errors like: Dec 17 00:21:13 host imap(testuser): Failed to create storage with data: "maildir:/home/testuser/mail/" -- Jesse Peterson erage at softhome.net

...g to set up dovecot to use /home/username as IMAP root, but it keeps creating /home/username/mail. I need /home/username in order to migrate with the least changes from uw-imap, just by copying .mailboxlist without the INBOX line in it into .subscriptions I tried each of these, one at a time: default_mail_env = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u default_mail_env = mbox:%h/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u default_mail_env = mbox:/home/%u/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u In each case, dovecot was stubornly creating /home/username/mail Please CC me, I'm not on the mailing list. Thanks.
