Using 2.3.8 and

• also

user_query = SELECT ... CONCAT('maildir:/var/mail/', LOWER(u.login), '/:CONTROL=/var/lib/dovecot/control/%Ln:VOLATILEDIR=/var/lib/dovecot/control/%Ln:INDEX=/var/lib/dovecot/control/%Ln') AS mail, ...

but I noticed that dovecot creates

dovecot.index.log dovecot.list.index.log

still in /var/mail/XYZ instad of /var/lib/dovecot/control/XYZ.

Is that normal?

I would expect /var/lib/dovecot/control/XYZ to be used also for these two files.

ps. lmtp is used here

Actually both places are used for dovecot.index.log:
