Hi there!
The documentation states one should prefer "~" over "%h" as placeholder for mail_home, nevertheless, in an official example for mail_attribute_dict "%h" was used like this:
mail_home = /var/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs # this works mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/mail/dovecot-attributes # this works
I thought I would be clever and replace "%h" with "~" but if I do this, it does not behave as expected. Instead it creates a new directory named "~" inside mail_home.
mail_home = /var/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs # this still works mail_attribute_dict = file:~/mail/dovecot-attributes # this does not work
I just wanted to bring it up, maybe I misinterpreted the documentation. I abolished the tilde for now, even if it is the preferred way.
All the best Marc
