Hi all,
In my Dovecot 2.4.2 virtual machine guest I've used mail_home to indicate the value of ~ and presumably of ${home}. However, the only documentation I can find on mail_home is on https://doc.dovecot.org/main/core/summaries/settings.html#mail_home , which is NOT a 2.4.2 document. I find no reference to mail_home on any 2.4.2 documentation. Has something replace mail_home, and if so what's it called and can I put it outside of any {} blocks?
Thanks,
SteveT

Not sure what you mean? https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.2/core/summaries/settings.html#mail_home

Thanks Aki,
That 2.4.2 document whose URL you replied with makes it clear that mail_home is valid in 2.4.2, so you answered my question. I searched dovecot.org and google for 20 minutes before asking: I just couldn't find it. Now that I'm learning more about the structure of Dovecot documentation, this will happen less and less.
Thanks,
