[Dovecot] index location

[Dave Brenner]

I continue to experience this issue, so I thought I would re-post my 
inquiry.

We are testing with 1.2.9 and have found that with 
mail_full_filesystem_access set to 'yes', we cannot force indexes for 
folders under ~/mail to be stored in /var/dovecot/indexes/%u. 
/var/dovecot/indexes/%u/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index* is created just fine, 
but everything else ends up in ~mail/.imap.

If I change mail_full_filesystem_access to 'no', then all indexes are 
created in the expected location:

$ ls -la /var/dovecot/indexes/blitz/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x    4 blitz    popuser       512 Jan 25 11:46 .
drwxrwxr-x    5 root     popuser       512 Jan 22 16:16 ..
drwxr-xr-x    3 blitz    popuser       512 Jan 22 16:16 .imap
drwxr-xr-x    3 blitz    popuser       512 Jan 25 11:46 mail

(I probably need to set the sticky bit for this, but for testing this is OK)

We are setting the index location from /etc/passwd-dove:

blitz:x:14267:500::/usr/users/dialups/blitz::userdb_mail=mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/%u

Is there a way to get this to function the way we'd like, with all 
indexes stored in /var/dovecot/indexes/u% ?

My apologies if I missed an explanation about this in the list archive.
