Hi,

I have read elsewhere that the Maildir shouldn’t be at the home. But that’s how it worked for me since the start.

I wonder if I could either change the location of these .dovecot.lda-dupes, or if I could change home without having to move the mailboxes of all the users.

Today I have this:

On my dovecot-sql.conf.ext:

iterate_query = SELECT username AS user FROM mailbox user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/var/mail/vmail/',maildir) AS home,
CONCAT('maildir:/var/mail/vmail/',maildir,':INDEX=/var/vmail-index/index/%d/%n:CONTROL=/var/vmail-index/control/%d/%n') AS mail,
5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, CONCAT('*:bytes=',quota) AS quota_rule
FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = 1 password_query = SELECT username AS user,password FROM mailbox
WHERE username = '%u' AND active=‘1'

On my 10-mail.conf

mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%d/%n:INDEX=/var/vmail-index/index/%d/%n:CONTROL=/var/vmail-index/control/%d/%n

If I add Maildir to the mail_location and to the mail user_query, will I have to move mailboxes, or the only thing I have to do is to add “Maildir” when I use %h/%%h?

Best,

Francis
