Hi all, in my settup i decided to set mail_home in 10-mail.conf, and let dovecot do the hashing to a 2-level directory structure. mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:ALT=/altstorage/%h/mdbox mail_home = /vmail/%1Mu/%2.1Mu/%u In my userdb ist homedirectory not set and everythink works as expected, except when i use rawlog i get only logs in ~/dovecot...

Hello In my setup I have the following in dovecot.conf (dovecot 2.0.12) mail_home = /buzones/mydomain/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n/home_usuario/ mail_location = mdbox:/buzones/my_domain/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n:INDEX=/indices_dovecot/indices/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n My problem is with the autocreation of mail_home.

hi, I had a long (upgraded today from 2.0.17 to 2.1.9) time mail_location and mail_home at the same path, which I recognize know, that it wasn't a good idea, idea. On my testsystem I've set: mail_home = /imap/spool/%d/%1u/%u mail_location = maildir:~/:INDEX=~/ otherwise I don't have access to the mails anymore. Is that ok? cu denny

Hi, I have two dovecot servers that are configured to be replicated using dsync over ssh. This has been working well for a long time. Recently I changed the mail_home path on one of the servers, because of mail data migration. The old file system is still available, but has been made read-only for now ? I plan to remove it once everything runs smoothly again. Now it seems replication is failing: the mail.err log file on both servers has lots of error messages s...

Same goes for sieve. This is because, as seen above, Maildir contents can be mistakenly interpreted as mail folders, causing problems. So avoid this: mail_home=/var/mail/...

Hi, I have been using this setup for years: mail_home = /var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~ I have since learned that mail_home and mail_location should be different. I plan to use this: mail_home = /var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail I would like the transition to be transparent for my email clients. I don't...

...y asked, but I haven't been able to find a solution, I am trying to migrate a dovecot 1.2 config to 2.1, the 'dovecot -n > dovecot.conf' migrated all the setup without issues, and the mail is working as expected. The only issue I've had is with the change with the mail_location, mail_home, that in the 2.1 versions can't be on the same path. After reading in the wiki the various config options ( http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home) I opted to use the 3rd: Home directory under mail, for example: Maildir: home=/var/vmail/domain/user/home/ mail=/var/vmail/domain/user/...

...dovecot, il says something like: Jun 22 10:18:07 lda(claudio at domain.com): Error: User claudio at domain.com doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database But the mail arrives correctly, and no problems at all.

...t' machine, so those error messages do make sense; I would like to fix that situation. In our current Dovecot configuration, only mail_location is set: mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%u I would like to ignore the erroneous 'home' attribute fetched from LDAP and specify a common mail_home, i.e. set: mail_home = /var/mail/%u/home but if I understand correctly, that global mail_home configuration directive would still be overridden by the LDAP 'home' attribute fetched from passdb: [...] pass_attrs = supannAliasLogin=user,userPassword=password,\ homeDirectory=userdb_home,...

Hello, I hate to have to ask this, but... why isn't the home directory being created automatically? Due to legacy compatibility we've had to use this type of home dir config: mail_location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n mail_home = /vmail/%d/%n/home We're in the middle of upgrading to new hardware, and so I'm migrating configs to the new server, Dovecot 2.3.7 and Postfix 3.4.6 On our old server (Dovecot 2.2, Postfix 2.11) the home directory gets created automatically with a new user, but not on this one. The Dov...
