Forgive me if this seems obvious, but is this talking about setting MAILDIR as an enivornment variable? I have it set on my system in both /etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile:
MAILDIR=/path/to/maildir/ export MAILDIR
and have confirmed this worked by running 'echo $MAILDIR'. I've logged the user in question out and then in again, as well as restarting dovecot but it still defaults to checking ~/Maildir when the user logs in. Setting the location using default_mail_env is not an option here as I need
used with the directory the fallback behaviour that
occurs when default_mail_env is not set.
Any advice appreciated.
You can use the userdb extra_fields to change settings per account. See http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-November/017830.html for example.
