Hi, my mail server is running fine. But not sure if I am doing right with "mail_location" in dovecot.conf
I am using dovecot-1.0.0-8_56 on RHEL AS 4 Update 5. Our users have a "mail" directory under their home directory(~/mail). I thought the "mail_location" line should be:
mail_location = mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mail_indexes/%d/%n
but if I do this, all the mailboxes in the "mail" directory won't show, and a new "mail" folder will be created under "~/mail/", so it is "~/mail/mail" now.
if I change it to this:
mail_location = mbox:%h:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mail_indexes/%d/%n
Everything is fine, is this the supposed behavior?
Do your clients have a mail directory configured in them like ~/mail? It was a common practice on older systems using other imap servers.
Yes, that is it. Thanks.
