Just thought I'd follow up on my original post, I got the snarf plugin to work properly with some help from Jonathan at PSU (need to give credit where credit is due)
For anybody else looking for the configuration here is the relevant output from dovecot -n
# 2.1.10: //etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.6.2-1.fc16.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 16 (Verne) ext4 mail_location = mbox:/home/%u/mail:INBOX=/home/%u/mbox mail_plugins = snarf zlib namespace Snarf { hidden = yes list = no location = mbox:/home/%u/mbox:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY prefix = ~~Snarfbox/ separator = / } namespace default { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / }
plugin { snarf = ~~Snarfbox/INBOX }
What I found was I was specifying the snarf mbox location as ~/mbox, once I changed to /home/%u/mbox things started working.
Thanks, Jeff
