Manually adding the ~/.mail directory with mkdir takes care of the problem, but shouldn't this directory be created automatically when it doesn't exist? I can't expect every user to log in and first make this mail directory before they can use their mail account.
Oh, and this is already fixed too.
So it is, too. Thanks. :)
Dovecot also refuses to show any folders at all, such as the INBOX, when it can't find it's mail(folders) directory. Is this intentional?
You mean if you have only INBOX in /var/mail/ but eg. no ~/mail? I don't think it even allows logging in without? And that is intentional.
In that case, no problem. :)
I discovered two small errors (at least I think they are):
Fatal: Can't create directory /usr/local/var/run/dovecot: No such file or directory
... when I undefine "base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/". So that path really isn't the default dovecot uses, for some reason it prepends '/usr/local' (that being the install prefix). This could be a feature, too - it just confused me because I thought the comments showed the default settings.
And I also get an error when I uncomment "max_logging_users = 256":
Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 125: Unknown setting: max_logging_users
That should probably be login_max_logging_users?
