Hello,
I am trying to set up dovecot for IMAP where I have a few maildirs. I'm using version 1.0.10.
Basically one for each email account I have (3 at the moment). Call them account1, account2, and account3.
I have the basic maildir location as /var/mail/user/ and I set up .Account1 .Account2 and .Account3 under my user.
So it looks like this.
/var/mail/user/new/ /var/mail/user/cur/ /var/mail/user/dovecot files /var/mail/user/.Account1 /var/mail/user/.Account1/new/ /var/mail/user/.Account1/cur/ /var/mail/user/.Account1/dovecot files /var/mail/user/.Account2 /var/mail/user/.Account2/new/ /var/mail/user/.Account2/cur/ /var/mail/user/.Account2/dovecot files /var/mail/user/.Account3 /var/mail/user/.Account3/new/ /var/mail/user/.Account3/cur/ /var/mail/user/.Account3/dovecot files
The mail gets delivered fine with fetchmail/procmail in maildir format under .Account1 2 or 3 but I can't get dovecot to index it (ie move it to new so that it shows up on the client - outlook). My config looks like the following:

Any help would be appreciated. TIA,
