Re: [Dovecot] dovecot can't see mail that is there

Thanks Timo,

Indeed creating the /var/empty directory as read-only + changing my <mail_location> to

mail_location = mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY

resolved the issue.

Thanks again for your great contribution to the community.

Rgds,

JF

This isn't a valid setting. See the bottom of http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Mbox
