So should I comment out the "mail_location = /var/mail/%u" line?

Hi All,

I've got a brand new dovecot installation. I'm new to dovecot, so please be gentle :-)

Anyway, I'm getting some errors when I try to connect to dovecot. I've tried searching the web and haven't been able to find a lot of information. Here's the config info:

# dovecot --version 1.1.2 # dovecot -n sudo dovecot -n # 1.1.2: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_location: /var/mail/%u You need to fix your mail location setting; see http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation

...

auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwd userdb: driver: static args: uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/%u Since you are also setting mail location here with home setting, you are probably resolving to /var/mail/%u/var/mail/%u Forget this last comment, but the mail location is not set properly.
