similar to: move mailbox to LAYOUT=fs

While testing an upgrade from Dovecot 1.2.9 (on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) to 2.0.19 (12.04 LTS) I encountered the following change in behaviour: In both setups, mail_location is defined as follows: mail_location = maildir:~/domains/%d/%n/.Maildir:LAYOUT=fs No other mail_location-related settings are set in the config. On 1.2.9 this leads to new mail being delivered to this example directory:

Hi guys, this page needs to be updated: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir#Control_files (link was from here: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation) Section 'Control files' is mentioning only 2 files but, in fact, Dovecot will store some additional files in CONTROL location: dovecot-uidvalidity dovecot-uidvalidity.* subscriptions (anything more?) Even more, page

Even if relative paths would appear to work, they might just as well break some day. Yet, all examples in the documentation use ~ which is a relative path.

running latest dovecot HEAD, per, http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir i've set LAYOUT=fs, dovecot -n| grep -i layout mail_location: maildir:/data/mail:LAYOUT=fs and expect, maildirs to actually use physical directories, such as: * Maildir/folder/ * Maildir/folder/subfolder/ but, autocreate at login creates folders using "dot" prefixes, e.g., cd

I've updated http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation regarding a typical mail_location entry for dbox. Previously it said: mail_location = dbox:~/dbox but of course "dbox" is now the old name for "sdbox", so the example should be updated to say "sdbox" and there might/ought also to be an example for "mdbox".

In reading http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation it is not clear to me the syntax for setting mail_location inside a userdb block. --

Hello list, I use currently a non-dovecot pop3 proxy which has the ability to scan all passing mails for viruses. And I like dovecot. I have to combine both. One (and the only) idea is to call a virusscanner a shellscript, installed as PostLoginScript. But I see multiple disadvantages: 1. it's a shellscript which tents to be slow. 2. it's called *on* the mailbox-host, not on a dedicated

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello List, First of all, this is my first post so please bear with me if I miss something. I'm using Postfix with Dovecot 2.0.19 as the LDA. The home directory is of the form `/var/mail/virtual/<domain>/<username>`. The mail directory is under the home directory and named `mail`. `mail_location` is left empty, and userdb is

I'm in the process of moving from LDA to LMTP (Postfix upstream) prior to a transition off `nix accounts to virtual accounts and am stumped by LMTP reporting ??? dovecot: lmtp(10019, jeff at example.com): Error: Relative home directory paths not supported: 0 LDA does /not /have any problems with PAM or passwd-file passdb/userdb and the ubiquitous definition of ??? mail_location =

Hi, I am trying to deal with the problem, that under regular mbox format a path can lead to either a file or a directory, but not both, while under IMAP, a path is usually both, a message folder containing subfolders. I found dovecot's approach to this problem, the Maildir++ layout described under http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MboxChildFolders , and was astonished to see, what problems come with
