Testing any given user gives: $: dovecot user sarah field value uid 1478 gid 116 home /home/sarah mail mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/sarah system_groups_user sarah
What would I have to do to make only sarah's mail_location ~/Maildir now? My userdb is: $: doveconf -n userdb userdb { driver = passwd }
I tried following the wiki's but its confusing. Thanks for any help or tips.
you need to pass "Extra Fields" to Dovecot, see last example in: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields
"passwd-file" is similiar to "passwd", but I don't know, if you break something (outside Dovecot), if you add the last field to /etc/passwd.
Because Dovecot supports multiple userdb's, you could add a passwd-file userdb _before_ passwd userdb, copy the line of sarah from /etc/passwd into that new file and add the extra fields there. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile
userdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/imap.passwd } userdb { driver = passwd }
