Hi all I receive the following error in my mail.log. Does anybody know how to configure dovecot to get rid of this ? I have one server up and running with postfix, dovecot and a mysql backend. The error above happens on another server with postfix, dovecot and a ldap backend. Any hints ? Mit freundlichem Gru? Carsten Laun-De Lellis Dipl.-Ing. Elektrotechnik Certified

Yes, that is what I did and it all works apart from the error message on the server about the missing home dir The doc seems to indicate that a home dir is needed.

It's been a while and I'm none the wiser. Still getting lmtp and imap errors.

VirtualUsers.Home.txt: The directory layouts for home and mail directories could look like one of these (in the preferred order): 1. Mail directory under home, for example: home='/var/vmail/domain/user/' mail='/var/vmail/domain/user/mail/' Who should be the owner of these directories, with that permissions? Does it make a difference if it's /home/vmail rather than

Sorry if this has been already 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.

As my logs fill up with "imap(user at domain.com): Error: stat(/mail/doman.com/user//.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory" errors, I followed the advice at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home and https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-June/104403.html and set in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf # By default LIST command returns all entries in maildir beginning

Hi all, I have enabled today the autoexpunge setting for Trash folders, and I am getting the following error when Dovecot starts: imap(<USER>): Error: autoexpunge: Couldn't create dovecot.autoexpunge.lock lock: User has no home directory I understand this is correct: as <USER> is a virtual user, it does not have home folder. Is there any way I can set the autoexpunge plugin

I have Dovecot 2.3.7.2 on Ubuntu 20.04. I just migrated the server from CentOS 8, and only migrated to the CentOS 8 machine a few months ago off of CentOS 7. I am pasting `doveconf -n` at the bottom of this email. Everything is working. However, I'm trying to clean up warnings in the logs, and just discovered that I'm not managing home directories properly.

Hello, I,m using Dovecot 1.2.9, now finishing a migration from Courier IMAP. Documentation (http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home) says that home directory should not be the same as mail directory. When I create new user accounts with PostfixAdmin the mail directory is not a problem but is there some smart way to create the home directory as well (locating it for instance in

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 want mail/directories/sieve_scripts to
