Is it possible to have local users with mail in maildir:%h/.maildir and virutal users with mail in maildir:/home/exim/%u/.maildir I seem to have authentication working for both local users and LDAP users. But I'm getting this error trying to access a virtual users mail. Aug 17 08:12:08 hostname dovecot: IMAP(Firstname Lastname): maildir:
