All,
I'm trying to teach dovecot to use the mbox format for /var/mail/%u and maildir for /home/%u/Mail/ but I'm having quite a hard time. This is Dovecot v1.0.beta3 under OpenBSD 3.9 on sparc64.
I've been fiddling with default_mail_env and also tried separate namespaces, but all to no avail. Here's some of the things I tried :
default_mail_env = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir:INBOX=mbox:/var/mail/%u ... default_mail_env = INBOX=mbox:/var/mail/%u:MAIL=maildir:/home/%u/Maildir/ ... namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes location = mbox:/var/mail/%u } namespace private { separator = / prefix = "Folders/" location = maildir:/home/%u/Mail } ...
But all it does is complain that my mbox files dont have a cur/ directory in them or create mbox-type files in /home/%u/mail/, in stead of saving my mail in a maildir under /home/%u/Mail/. So using namespaces doesn't seem to be such a good idea after all, I can have extra maildirs under Folders/ in ~/Mail, but that's not where my IMAP client saves its sent mail.
I'm quite obviously doing something wrong, is this possible at all ? What is the correct incantation for the default_mail_env setting for such a setup ?
Any clues would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd
