INBOX at /var in maildir storage format
Hi
I'm trying to figure out how to set default_mail_env to support such config:
INBOX is in '/var/mail/%u/' (note last slash at the end, %u is an folder with
new/tmp/cur subdirs - standard maildir structure).
Other imap folders are stored as files (in mbox format) in direcotry '%h/Mail/'.
Please advise.

default_mail_env auto-detect woes for maildir users
Hello--
I am a fairly new dovecot user and have run into a problem.
I am running dovecot 1.0alpha5 (built from source) on a Fedora Core 1 machine.
The system has about 400 users with over 80 IMAP users, and we 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

default_mail_env renaming
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. This won't work if the user doesn't have any

default_mail_env and IMAP server directory in client
Hi,
I'm currently installing a dovecot Server to be a replacement for an
uw-imapd.
I dont want to touch the clients configuration, because I have too much
users...
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

INBOX as mbox, other mailboxes as maildir
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 :

dovecot.conf: default_mail_env
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 ?

How do i translate the old default_mail_env setting?
Hi,
First, 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

Using mail_chroot and default_mail_env
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:

rc7 bug? [Was: deliver LDA and INBOX location] (fwd)
Anyone had any thoughts on the item below?
If the problem is with my config, I'd like to be guided towards how I
might resolve it.
If it is a bug in rc7, it would be good to fix it, and I'd be happy to
beta-test.

Dual INBOX Locations
G'day list,
Just a quick question - I need to configure Dovecot to do the following:
* check default_mail_env for the users' inbox in MBOX format
* If the above fails, serve the user an inbox from a secondary location,
in MAILDIR format.
I have read up on Namespaces, however I can't seem to get this to work -
login just fails when Dovecot cannot find the inbox in default_mail_env
