HI,

I have a working exim4 + dovecot system that uses system user folders for the inbox.

exim4: domains = dsearch;/etc/exim4/virtual

dovecot: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

• I would like to add additional virtual accounts using the method described in this post:

http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/302

exim4:

/etc/exim4/conf.d/router/360_exim4-local_vdom_aliases

vdom_aliases_maildir: debug_print = "R: vdom_aliases_maildir for $local_part@$domain" driver = redirect allow_defer allow_fail domains = dsearch;/var/mail/virtual data = /var/mail/virtual/$domain/$local_part/ directory_transport = address_directory pipe_transport = address_pipe file_transport = address_file

dovecot:

mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/virtual/%d/%n/ auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/passwd.imap

• I have read about "Namespace" but I am not sure if they will work with virtual pop3 and virtual imap accounts. as I also want to keep the existing pop3 setup without have to modify the location of the inbox for existing accounts pop3 accounts.

It seems that exim4 is fine with this method but I am not sure about dovecot. Is it possible to have pop3 and imap running while also using multiple delivery folder locations for the mail_location directive?
