If I have the mail_chroot config parameter set to some dir in the config file and have the home directories set up with /./ ends in the userdb file, do I have to create the directory which holds the index/uidlist files under that chroot dir? Now it seems dovecot can not find the directory which is outside of the chroot (I thought that dovecot opens the index files before it chroots).
No. Each mailbox has separate index files, so the index files are opened when the mailbox is opened. So there's no way to have index/control outside chroot. So is it correct to state that chroot and Quota/FS does not work simultaneously? The maildirs/mboxes will always be under the chroot directory, so it is impossible to set the directory containing the index/uidlist files in a place without quota, if it has to be under the chroot.
