Thanks for the report. This was fixed already. See: https://doc.dovecot.org/main/core/config/auth/databases/overview.html

Hello dovecot folks,

I'm spamming this list because your docs tell me this is the place to report non-security dovecot bugs. I couldn't find a similar docs- complaint in the mailing list archives, but I only spent a few minutes looking. Anyway:

On the Dovecot docs page here:

https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.5/core/config/auth/databases/overview.html

The list of authentication databases in the index (on the left side of the page) has correct topic URLS of the form

doc.dovecot.org/[version]/core/config/auth/databases/[...] ,

but in the actual "Authentication Databases" page occupying the middle of the browser-window, the URLs for the various auth databases are of the (incorrect) form

doc.dovecot.org/[version]/docs/core/config/auth/databases/[...] . ^^^^

Clicking a link in the index at left works, but clicking on the links in the actual Auth-Datbases page produces a 404 error due to the addition of the (nonexistent?) "docs" directory in the URL.

Fix: in the Authentication pverview the "docs/" string should be removed from those URLs to repair the situation.

Thanks for all your efforts and for this great piece of software.

--MCV.
