Hi
Perhaps I've been going too far OT in my previous thread or perhaps I
just didn't explain my problem clear enough so forgive me for trying
again.
I have configured fetchmail to fetch my mail from my ISP's POP3-server.
I have set up procmail to filter messages and deliver all non-filtered
messages to the folder ".IN-catchall/" in "$HOME/Maildir"
After sending some test messages the "Maildir" folder in my home-folder
looks like:
m8ram at medion:~$ tree -a Maildir
Maildir
|-- .IN-catchall
| |-- cur
| |-- new
| | `-- 1114356268.8424_0.medion
| `-- tmp
|-- .IN-testing
| |-- cur
| |-- new
| | |-- 1114354955.6900_0.medion
| | `-- 1114356175.8292_0.medion
| `-- tmp
|-- .INBOX
| |-- .IN-testing
| | |-- cur
| | |-- new
| | | |-- 1114354955.6900_0.medion
| | | `-- 1114356175.8292_0.medion
| | `-- tmp
| |-- .imap.index
| |-- .imap.index.data
| |-- .imap.index.log
| `-- .imap.index.tree
|-- .customflags
|-- IN-catchall
|-- cur
|-- new
`-- tmp
16 directories, 11 files
Because I have been using the mbox format to test dovecot so far I had
to modify my dovecot configuration but no matter what I try none of the
messages above appear in evolution or thunderbird.
Can anybody tell me what I need to add/remove/change in my config? I'm
running:
m8ram at medion:~$ /usr/sbin/dovecot --version
0.99.14
on debian testing
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf contains the following:
protocols = imap
login = imap
login = pop3
mail_extra_groups = mail
default_mail_env = maildir:/%h/Maildir
auth = default
auth_mechanisms = plain
auth_userdb = passwd
auth_passdb = pam
auth_user = root
When using mbox I used:
default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
I also tried the following for maildir:
default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir
default_mail_env = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir
But neither worked.
TIA
Bram
