No idea how that worked with your previous configuration (I guess accidentally/unintentionally), but I guess you want this:

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=~/Maildir/INBOX:LAYOUT=fs

Hi,

yesterday I did an update from dovecot 1.2 to 2.0.19 (Ubuntu 10.04 -> 12.04). After fixing the configuration dovecot startups as it should, but with one error, I don't understand: the INBOX will not be delivered to the Mailclient and will not be filled by "deliver". Instead, dovecot create the two dirs "new" and "cur" directly in "Maildir".

the filesystem looks now like: domain/user1/Maildir/INBOX # official INBOX domain/user1/Maildir/new # new mail domain/user1/Maildir/cur # read mail

We have searched for an configuration error, but didn't found anything - or did not see one ;-)

Maybe there is someone in the list, which see our error in a moment?

We are using only imap/s and managesieve, no pop3. Maildir-Layout is FS.

Here a snippet of our configuration:

---

mail_home = mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs

namespace { hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace { list = yes location = maildir:%%h/Maildir/:INDEX=%%h/Maildir/shared/%u:LAYOUT=fs prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace { list = yes location = maildir:/srv/vmail/public:LAYOUT=fs prefix = public/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public }

protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve autocreate } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-lsub-flags tb-lsub-flags mail_max_userip_connections = 10 mail_plugins = acl autocreate imap_acl }

Hope you can help!

Thank you!
