Greetings Dovecot team/users,

I am trying to use Dovecot to serve Maildir files. The users' email is located in ~/Maildir (in each user's home directory). I tried specifying

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

but I get this error:

Aug 4 00:06:34 ch dovecot: imap(username): Error: Relative home directory paths not supported: 0

Are relative home directory paths not supported?

Here is the output of dovecot -n:

dovecot -n
