Currently I've configured dovecote to find user's mail folder like this: dovecot.conf mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u/Maildir

Thats a good setup. For simplicity's sake, why not use it?

:) yes i agree. but the problem is that some of the existing ldap entries need to be changed. there are more than 15,000 mailboxes and problem users are randomly distributed. currently i'm using courier-imap and it perfectly lands each user in his/her own mailbox. the only problem i find with courier is that it becomes sluggish at peak hours.

All my domain mailboxes are under /var/vmail, as evident. But there are some users whose mail folders are directly under /var/vmail like this one: /var/vmail/myuser1@mydomain1.com

Move or symlink them. Maintenance and migration is a lot easier if you use a uniform layout.

again the same. the problem users are distributed among more than 15,000 mailboxes.

raja.
