My main issue is now hot co convert this line:
mail_location = maildir:/var/maildir/%u:INDEX=/var/dovecot-index/%u:CONTROL=/var/dovecot-control/%u
I am uncertain whether the first part should look like:
mail_home = /var/maildir/ mail_driver = maildir mail_path = /var/maildir/%{user} For mail_home take a look at https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.2/core/config/auth/users/virtual.html#home-direc... especially the mail_home should not be shared amongst users. The rest looks good.
I have configured mail_driver = maildir mail_path = /srv/mail/%{user | lower}/Maildir
With 'doveadm user -u $username' the above configuration sets mail_home = /srv/mail/%{user | lower}
But I am completely lost how to convert INDEX and CONTROL section. Could someone help me in this matter? From looking through the settings page, in your case this should be mail_control_path = /var/dovecot-index/%{user} https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.2/core/config/mail_location.html#mail_control_pa...
mail_index_path = /var/dovecot-control/%{user} https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.2/core/config/mail_location.html#mail_index_path
