Hello List!
I am testing mdbox on Dovecot 2.4.1 (currently using Maildir, but thinking of converting).
I created a test server with a test domain. Installed relevant software from default repos on Debian 13:
- Postfix
- Dovecot 2.4.1
- PostfixAdmin
- MariaDB
After I had created an email address, I checked the settings as follows:
# doveadm user mail@$REDACTED
field value
uid 5000
gid 5000
home /vhosts/$REDACTED/mail/
mail_path /vhosts/$REDACTED/mail//mdbox
quota_rule *:bytes=1048576000
As you can see, there is a double forward-slash in the mail_path line.
From /etc/dovecot/local.d/10-mail.conf:
mail_driver = mdbox
mail_path = ~/mdbox
This is based on the official Dovecot docs page (see at the very bottom): https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/core/config/mailbox_formats/dbox.html
Is this harmful, or just "cosmetic"? Have I made a mistake somewhere?
I presume the mail_path line is not even required, as it is the default for that mail_driver.
Thank you for your time and reply.
Kind regards, Edmund Lodewijks
