similar to: default_mail_env and IMAP server directory in client

I'd like to store all of my mail in maildir, but I want to store the inbox and indices on fast storage and everything else on deep storage. Does the following configuration value for mail_location accomplish this? mail_location = maildir:/data/deep/%Ld/mail/%Ln:INBOX=/data/fast/%Ld/mail/%Ln:INDEX=/data/fast/%Ld/indices/%Ln

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(/Maildir) failed: No such file or directory As a

I am having problems setting the default mail environment.# 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'v set the default_mail_env to maildir:/var/maildir/%d/%u where /var/maildir/ is the root dorectory for my maildir tree and I'm getting the folowing error in the maillog : Jan 3 15:16:58 websrv pop3(roi): unlink(/var/maildir//roi/cur/new:2,T) failed: Is a directory Notice that the %d is missing. If I change to 'default_mail_env = maildir:/var/maildir/example.tld/%u' then

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.

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

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

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

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.
