[Dovecot] mail_location ?

[Yu Chen]

Hi, my mail server is running fine. But not sure if I am doing right with 
"mail_location" in dovecot.conf

I am using dovecot-1.0.0-8_56 on RHEL AS 4 Update 5.
Our users have a "mail" directory under their home directory(~/mail). I 
thought the "mail_location" line should be:

mail_location = 
mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mail_indexes/%d/%n

but if I do this, all the mailboxes in the "mail" directory won't show, 
and a new "mail" folder will be created under "~/mail/", so it is 
"~/mail/mail" now.

if I change it to this:

mail_location = mbox:%h:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mail_indexes/%d/%n

Everything is fine, is this the supposed behavior?

Thanks
CY
