Im working on upgrading to dovecot-1.0.7 from version 1.0.3 which I
installed using yum. I backed up my init.d stuff so everything still
works. However, when I shutdown my old dovecot version and start the
new, I get an empty mailbox when logging into mail. My current config
for dovecot.conf on version 1.0.3 has this for my mailbox
location:mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%uI went from uw-imap to dovecot some months ago and necessary changes
to the .mailboxlist to .subscriptions. Is there a different format
for version 1.0.7?
No. There should be no changes between 1.0.3 and 1.0.7 that could cause this. So I don't think the problem is with the version number change, but something else.
Setting mail_debug=yes (and maybe auth_debug=yes) and looking at logs would show what Dovecot is really using as home directory and mail location.
