Re: Dovecot says the message was stored into a Spam mailbox but it's not there

      In theory delivery (for Maildir) should be to 'new' directory

ie: /var/vmail/domain/user/Maildir/.Spam/new/

only when a message is read/downloaded should it migrate to

/var/vmail/domain/user/Maildir/.Spam/cur/

upping the mail_debug setting to true should give you more information
around what sieve is doing and what path mail stored in.

Hi,
I have a problem with storing messages into a Spam folder by dovecot.
Log says that message was stored into Spam mailbox but when I check
there is no message in users's Spam mailbox.
cat /var/log/mail.log | grep sieve | grep Spam :
*Feb 17 05:09:11 mailserver dovecot: lda(user@domain): sieve:
msgid=: stored mail
into mailbox 'Spam'*
Where are these messages if not in the Spam folder where they should
be?  /var/vmail/domain/user/Maildir/.Spam/cur/
* dovecot -n*
