### this should give each user a mail store default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/%lu/%u/Maildir
If you have defined namespaces manually, Dovecot won't create the default private namespace for you. So add:
namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes }
I now have
--------------------- cut ------------------------- default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/%lu/%u/Maildir
namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes hidden = no }
namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/var/mail/public inbox = no hidden = no }
namespace shared { separator = / prefix = Accounts/ location = maildir:/var/mail/accounts inbox = no hidden = no } --------------------- cut -------------------------
That appears to do the trick ... I'll do some more testing ... Thanks
For completeness should I comment out the default_mail_env line and add a location to namespace private?
I found it quite difficult to pull all this together from the mail lists and wiki - would it be worth putting an extended example into the wiki?
Thanks again
