[Dovecot] Correction of home and mail directory config
Hello, after running dovecot for a while, I stumbled accross the warning, not to have mail and home directory settings point to one and same directory. Here is the output of dovecot -n:
dovecot -n # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 i686 Debian 6.0.4 ext3 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps imap disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_max_userip_connections: 100 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: 5000 mail_gid: 5000 mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_full_filesystem_access: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock namespace: type: private separator: . inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master postmaster_address: xxxx@xxxx.org mail_plugins: sieve log_path: auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir allow_all_users=yes socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail
In "args: uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir allow_all_users=yes" I should delete "Maildir".
My question is: What files do I have to copy from /Maildir to the home directory /var/vmail/%d/%n/ ? Are there other side effects, I have to consider?
Thank you very much for your help!

Yes, exactly.

Everything concerning sieve should be in the home dir.
Are there other side effects, I have to consider?
Less warnings ;)
