this is usually only a problem with debian packages that set mail_inbox_path = something, and you can comment that out.
variables that have been explicitly set in config file will show up in doveconf output.
As I mentioned a few message back, whether I comment out the line in the Debian config, or set it to "" in local.conf, doveconf shows it as unset, not ".".
But, commenting it out works, and setting it to "" does not work. This is the bug.
Commenting it out in the Debian config is a non-starter, since it will then have to be handled on every package upgrade.
As per the code I referenced, setting an empty string should still have dovecot resolve the full path. Because "." and "" with mail_home set *should* mean the same thing.
