i would like to know what the following means -- specifically mdbox and sdbox
#################### Apr 10 17:12:10 imap(user@mydomain.com): Debug: mdbox: access(/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/user/mdbox, rwx): failed: No such file or directory Apr 10 17:12:10 imap(user@mydomain.com): Debug: mdbox: couldn't find root dir Apr 10 17:12:10 imap(user@mydomain.com): Debug: sdbox: access(/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/user/sdbox, rwx): failed: No such file or directory Apr 10 17:12:10 imap(user@mydomain.com): Debug: sdbox: couldn't find root dir ####################
Your config does not specify, which mail storage the user is using. That's why Dovecot probes for various "signs", mdbox is the first and so on. Eventually it probes for Maildir and uses the user's mail dir as a Maildir storage.
