Re: Changed location of index files

Hello.

Thanks! This variant working:

  userdb__mail_index_path = /var/data/mail/vmail/%{user | domain }/%{user | username}

For other parameters, do I also need to add userdb_? Example:

userdb declarative {
  userdb_driver = passwd-file
  userdb_passwd_file_path = /var/data/mail/dovecot/passdb
  userdb_fields {
    userdb_gid = 5000
    userdb_home = /var/data/mail/vmail/%{user | domain}/%{user | username}
    userdb_uid = 5000
    userdb_mail_index_path = /var/data/mail/vmail/%{user | domain }/%{user | username}
  }
}

How to move location of the .dovecot.lda-dupes files to the mail subdirectory?

Hi!

Try adding userdb_ to mail_index_path. Home is special.

Keys which begin with a userdb_ prefix are used for userdb, others are used for passdb. https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.3/core/config/auth/databases/passwd_file.html#co...
