A couple years ago, sendmail delivered my mail to ~/Mail/<user> and I could cd to ~/Mail and grep and find the string(s) sought.
Dovecot seems to save its mail on my mailserver as ~/Mailbox/<dotuser>/*. What do I change in the conf file to get rid of the directory DOT prefixes?
What do you mean by <user>? You mean different mailboxes?
That depends upon the definition of mailbox. Mail to me from,
say, "smith" was stored as ~/Mail/smith; mail from "jones" was
stored as ~/Mail/jones. In early '08, using dovecot, that
became ~Maildir/.smith/* and ~/Maildir/.jones/*. It would be
nice to get rid of the leading dot.If there is any documentation on this, please point me at it?
Apparently you want LAYOUT=fs, not Maildir++.
Hm, I have no clue; I'm too new right now. http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir#Directory_layout
