Hi,
I'm just setting up a new dovecot system and wonder why I get this error. On another dovecot system this works with no problems.
Log entry when exiting MUA Thunderbird:
Nov 16 20:16:35 myhostname dovecot: imap(info@mydomain.de): Error: autoexpunge: Couldn't create dovecot.autoexpunge.lock lock: file_create_locked(/var/mail/vmail/mydomain.de/info//dovecot.autoexpunge.lock) failed: safe_mkstemp(/var/mail/vmail/mydomain.de/info//dovecot.autoexpunge.lock) failed: No such file or directory
Is this double slash between /info//dovecot.auto... okay? I believe there should be a "Mailbox" in between?
Configuration in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxed.conf
namespace inbox { mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk autoexpunge = 90d }
Maybe you can help me a bit. ;-) Michael

Do you have mail_home set? And do you have the right permissions on it?

Not usually, no.

Depends on your setup, but ~/Maildir/ is usual though certainly not required.
