[Dovecot] Is this odd?
$ doveadm user kremels field value uid 1033 gid 1033 home /home/kremels mail maildir:~/Maildir system_groups_user kreme
$ doveadm user user@virtual.example.com field value uid 89 gid 89 home /usr/local/virtual/user@virtual.example.com/ mail /usr/local/virtual/user@virtual.example.com mail_location /usr/local/virtual/user@virtual.example.com
The local users doesn't have a mail_location set at all, and has a very different mail definition. This seem to be a side-effect of the fact that the home of the virtual user is the top level maildir, but should I set mail to maildir:~ ??

Hi LuKreme,
Do you have any special reasons NOT to use standard layout (Maildir under home) for virtual users, as suggested in the docs and by users here?
Best wishes Eugene

The virtual users were setup in /usr/local/virtual/user@domain.tld way back in the last century. Going through and changing the MySQL database and moving everyone's mail didn't seem like a good plan.
(The virtual users ONLY have mail access and ONLY via IMAP).
