Set "default_mail_env = mbox:~/" and rename those ".mailboxlist" files to ".subscriptions" file (or modify dovecot's sources to make it use the .mailboxlist directly).
Yes, that's what I searched for. I guess you'll add something to the config file to change SUBSCRIPTION_FILE_NAME - but so far I change it in the source.
And with the new version I'm able to let the inbox in a separate directory and all other folders in the home directories of the users, right?
That's also what I'd hope for, but so far don't seem to see the solution. Just to step back:
The notion of having the ~/Maildir/ be both a mailbox and the root of the folder tree is interesting (I understand it's not unique to dovecot), but limiting. Ideally I would like to be able to specify:
the default inbox (e.g. ~/Maildir/ or ~/Mailbox or /var/mail/user or whatever)
multiple paths to folder directories (e.g. ~/Mail or ~/Private or ~/Work/Mail or ~/Maildir/ or simply set it to ~/ and let the user browse their own home directory through an IMAP client and set up their own subscription).
have the imap server autorecognize the format of any mail folder that the client directs it to look at.
Can this be done? Have I missed something?
