      Hi, all.
I use dovecot-1.1.11 with OpenLDAP backend. but i found the
mail_location is not correct. How can i override mail_location setting
in dovecot.conf?
LDAP user data and dovecot config are attached below. in dovecot config,
mail_location is:
mail_location = maildir:/%Lh/%Ld/%Ln/:INDEX=/%Lh/%Ld/%Ln/
but the correct maildir should be 'homeDirectory' + 'mailMessageStore':
maildir:/home/vmail/a.cn/w/ww/www/
LDAP user:
dn: mail=www@a.cn,ou=Users,domainName=a.cn,o=domains,dc=iredmail,dc=org
