[Dovecot] Upgrade from RC7 to RC10 didn't go too well...
Hi,
On the weekend I tried to upgrade from RC7 to RC10. Clearly, I have to change some things before I can do this. What does it take to get to RC10?
As is, my mail client got an error trying to list messages in /INBOX (via IMAP) and the mail.err log shows the following messages:
Oct 29 10:27:32 siona dovecot: IMAP(archangel): open(/var/mail/archangel/inbox, O_CREAT) failed: Not a directory Oct 29 10:27:32 siona dovecot: IMAP(archangel): mkdir_parents(/var/mail/archangel/.imap/INBOX) failed: Not a directory Oct 29 10:27:32 siona dovecot: IMAP(archangel): open() failed with subscription file /var/mail/archangel/.subscriptions: Not a directory
My dovecot.conf includes default_mail_env = mbox:/var/mail/%u
And other then enabling SSL, I've got a pretty vanilla configuration (e.g. nothing in the IMAP section at all, no odd namespaces...)
/var/mail/archangel is an mbox file, why is dovecot trying to open files under there?
I know at least part of the discussion has happened on the list before so I'm sorry for duplicating other questions. My TODO is about ten km long so I hope someone can at least give me a couple good pointers.
Thanks in advance!

That won't work. From rc8 release announcement (or NEWS file):
* "mbox:/var/mail/%u" no longer works as the mail location.
You'll
have to specify the mail root explicitly, just like the
examples
always have: "mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u"
ie. Dovecot no longer does guessing.

Thank you, Timo.
