Yeah, the best solution is it, but let explain better my case.

When i get this job, the structure is:

1.5M users IMAP -> Dovecot 0.99 POP -> Qpopper MTA -> Qmail LDA -> Vdeliver About 600TB of mails on storages

Today is:

Still 1.5M Users IMAP -> Dovecot 2.0.11 POP -> Dovecot 2.0.11 MTA -> Postfix LDa -> Dovecot 2.0.11 LMTP Still 600TB of mails

To be more transparent to users, i using the old path, and using this the maildir is in the user home directory. To change this i need to move tons of mails. To change sieve location i need to migrate all personal user scripts. And i need a time, i known is the best way but if i can fix it now, is better for me.

If no other way, i will change it :)

Yeah, i can do that, or change the user homedir, but i need some time to change scripts.

But, is normal to dovecot show a file as a mailbox? And have any kind of option to hide this one?

If your Home-Dir is the maildir? Yes, .filename could also be an MBOX-Mailfolder, so please put your maildir in a subdirectory, not in the home-root.

Extra disk I/O is bad, i will change the sieve location.

Thanks!

maildir_stat_dirs=yes solves this for extra disk I/O.
