Hello,
I'm running debain on my machine with postfix, squirrelmail and dovecot installed. Everything works fine and I'm able to access my mail via squirrelmail and via Outlook with imap. However I want to create subfolders what is not possible. After reading I discovered that I use mbox and that maildir is needed in order to be able to use subfolders. I have created a Maildir folder with the maildirmake.dovecot command in my /home/mirko directory and corrected the owner. Now dovecot uses the Maildir and I can create subfolers. However my problem is that I don't receive Emails in my Inbox. Incoming mails are delivered to /var/mail/mirko, but when dovecot uses Maildir it doesn't access this. I have played with the default_mail_env settings in dovecot.conf which does influence the use of mbox or Maildir. However the problem remains: As soon as Maildir is used, the Inbox is empty and I don't receive Email.
Is there a way when Maildir is used to point dovecot to /var/mail/ for the incoming Email? Or do I something else wrong? Your help is appreciated.
Greetings, Mirko
