[Dovecot] how to create maildir on local mail delivery

[Sebastian Logar]

Hi Timo,

First of all thank you for responding so fast. So i need to change
maildir ldap entry to maildir:/nas/5b/7d/5f/erikp/Maildir/ or i just can
change user_attrs?

What version would you suggest, probably latest? I installed this one
from ubuntu repository.

My user_attrs is
user_attrs =
homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid,mailMessageStore=mail,mai
lQuota=quota=maildir:storage

regards,
Sebastian

This is your problem. You need to prefix it with "maildir:".

v1.0 might not make this easy..

What's in your user_attrs?
