Hi,
I'm having great difficulty pointing Dovecot to my MBox files. They are
all in /var/spool/mail/username as textfiles.. not directories.
So my guess was:
default_mail_env = /var/spool/mail/%u
Since %u is user. If the user is "server" I would expect it to go
to /var/spool/mail/server exactly what I want. But it
doesn't /var/spool/mail///home/server.
If I create the directory home in /var/spool/mail and make a symlink of
the username pointing to /var/spool/mail it does work. But that's a very
dirty workaround I rather not use, also because we have a lot of users..
a lot of symlinks.
If I set default_mail_env = /var/spool/mail, it also searches
for /var/spool/mail///home/server.
I feel like I've tried everything. What am I doing wrong?
I'm using version 1.0.beta8, included in Fedora Core 5.
Thanks,
Rick
