Hi,

I have created symlinks to all the mail folders with caps in their name. but that does not solve the issue. If a user types in mixed case username( e.g. RtNaiR for rtnair ), dovecot creates a new mailfolder for that username; Is there a way to instruct dovecot not to create a mailbox and throw an error if the folder does not exist?

Currently I've configured dovecote to find user's mail folder like this: dovecot.conf mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u/Maildir

Thats a good setup. For simplicity's sake, why not use it?

:) yes i agree. but the problem is that some of the existing ldap entries need to be changed. there are more than 15,000 mailboxes and problem users are randomly distributed. currently i'm using courier-imap and it perfectly lands each user in his/her own mailbox. the only problem i find with courier is that it becomes sluggish at peak hours. I'll admit I'm ignorant in matters of ldap, is it really very hard to pull a list of all aberrant entries? With only 15000 total accounts, even if they all needed correcting, it wouldn't take very long to symlink them all.
