I do not want that every user has it's own /home/$user directory..
See last chapter of http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/MailLocation
I do not get it.. I have all usersmail stored in /var/spool/mail/%u But Dovecot HAS to write somewhere an INBOX file/directory ? My questions is WHY does it have to create an INBOX directory/file??
It's a (stupid!) fact of life with the IMAP protocol.
Your MUA (E-Mail client program) could, if it wanted, hide the INBOX. It's not really essential that the users see it.
I do not mind that it is an IMAP 'feature'..I DO mind that Dovecot is autocreating it although I told dovecot to only serve pop3 and pop3s!!
