auto: mdbox is automatically recognized as sdbox

[刘莹莹]

Hi:   I did a simple test with Dovecot-2.3.9: 
          First step : A test account uses mdbox format to store emails with 'mail_location = mdbox:%h/%Ld/%Ln:ALT=%h/altstorage/%Ld/%Ln',
          Second step: I adjust 'mail_location = auto:'  and dovecot restart
          Third step: telnet 127.0.0.1 143  then log in and fetch emails.
    When I fetch email data , the log shows that the storage format is automatically recognized as sdbox and index is Rebuild, as the result, all emails is lost：

    I am confused why mdbox and sdbox cannot be recognized automatically or there are same problem with my test ??   Thanks
