no idea if it matters but the static userdb sets only the home=. is it possible to set home= and mail= because both souldnt be the same as Timo mentioned a few days ago

hi..

im just testing 2.0 before upgrading to v1.2 :)

in auth-ldap.conf.ext i found

# If you don't have any user-specific settings, you can avoid the userdb LDAP # lookup by using userdb static instead of userdb ldap, for example: # #userdb { #driver = static #args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%u #}

On 1.2 im using LDAP lookup and everthing works like a charm. user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uid=mail=maildir:/home/MAILBOXES/%$/mail

On 2.0 is now tried to use this option cause all my mail are stored in /home/MAILBOXES/%uid/mail userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/mail }

and that doesnt work log say: dovecot: imap(hpeter): Error: user hpeter: Initialization failed: mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/home/MAILBOXES/hpeter/mail
