-# Default MAIL environment to use when it's not set. By leaving this empty
-# dovecot tries to do some automatic detection as described in

+# 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 mail
+# yet, so you should explicitly tell Dovecot the full location.
+#
+# If you're using mbox, giving a path to INBOX file (eg. /var/mail/%u) isn't
+# enough. You'll also need to tell Dovecot where the other mailboxes are and
+# where Dovecot can place its index files.
