You don’t have vmail group in your system? Either create it or remove this setting. Most likely you want to remove it, since this setting was meant only for mbox format, while you’re using maildir.
After much trial and error and following Timos advice, I managed to get a sync to at least start and it lists folders, then it starts spamming this:
dsync(alantestuser@whatever.com): Error: safe_mkstemp(/tmp/dovecot.doveadm.) failed: No such file or directory dsync(alantestuser@whatever.com): Error: safe_mkstemp(/tmp/dovecot.doveadm.) failed: No such file or directory dsync(alantestuser@whatever.com): Error: safe_mkstemp(/tmp/dovecot.doveadm.) failed: No such file or directory ...
/tmp/dovecot.doveadm. does indeed not exist but I can't find any reference to it online or in the docs,
Any ideas?
