Hello,

i don't like asking stupid questions in mailinglist, 'cause i guess you got something better to do than answer it. But well this is an exception, because i didn't find anything on google.

Here comes my problem:

I'm using a NetBSD 1.6.0 System with the latest dovecot build.

i want to start dovecot imapd by:

root@balin:[/etc]$ ./rc.d/dovecot start Starting dovecot. Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/pkg/etc/dovecot.conf line 88: Missing value

This is my error ;)

This is the line 88 in my conf file. maildir:/home/%u/mail

the maildir was created by 'makemaildir mail' and exists:

root@balin:[/home/tobi]$ ls -all total 18 drwxr-xr-x 4 tobi users 512 Aug 15 09:11 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Aug 13 01:18 .. drwx------ 5 tobi users 512 Aug 14 12:47 mail

there it is.

in default option of the maildir line dovecot starts without problems but i really want to have my mails in /home/%u/mail and not in /var/mail/%1u/%u/mail So could somebody please put some light on it?

Thank you, Tobi
