I'm trying to get the snarf plugin working with dovecot 2.0.7. Specifically, I want to use the UW-IMAP style optional snarfing.
I'm looking at the wiki2 documentation. The first question is whether the UW-IMAP optional snarfing will require any changes to the mail_location. The first section suggests (but doesn't specifically state, which I'd propose be clarified) that mail_location be updated to point at ~/mbox for INBOX. However, with the optional snarfing, sometimes inbox will be at /var/mail and for some users, it'll be ~/mbox. What, if anything, do I do to mail_location?
Does it matter where (in which config file) the plugin block is placed? I put all of my snarf configuration in 10-mail.conf. It's not working; not snarfing and not reading mail from ~/mbox (how would it, I have yet to tell it to).
The following are excerpts from 10-mail.conf
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/a2/imap-index/%u .... namespace { type = private separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } .... namespace snarf { prefix = /snarf separator = / location = mbox:/private/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/empty:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY list = no hidden = yes }
plugin { snarf = /snarf/INBOX mbox_snarf = ~/mbox }
Thank you
BTW, the dovecot-2.0.7/docs/wiki appear to be from wiki1, not wiki2... :-)
