[Dovecot] many users maildir access
Hi All, Is it possible when using Dovecot and MySQL to tell dovecot maildir:%h/MailDir -- Yes I know but please read on before you answer this one :->
We have users directories layer structured because of the filesystems 32k directory limit , eg: user foobar@example.com's home mail directory is: /mailhosts/example.com/f/fo/foo/foobar
I know Dovecot takes maildir:%d/%u/MailDir but as you see this will not
work, so I guess I'm after the defination of %h, is that home as in system
users home, or home as is like our setup? Or, is there yet another way we
could have Dovecot access the users mail, we need to ove away from our
current
Regards, Vic

mail_location = maildir:%d/%1n/%2n/%3n/%n/MailDir

%h expands to home directory given by your userdb configuration. So if you're using mysql and you have the directory in "maildir_path" field, you can return:
user_query = select ..., maildir_path as home, ...
