Thank you for your response.

Yes, I know that I'm using maildir, but when we create an account, file sistem look likes:

/home/vmail/domain.com/user1/new /home/vmail/domain.com/user1/cur /home/vmail/domain.com/user1/tmp

My problem is that dovecot is creating additional folders:

/home/vmail/user1/new /home/vmail/domain.com/user/cur /home/vmail/domain.com/user/tmp

Mail are received in first directories, second ones are created but not used.

What's the problem?

Thanks again!

THE MAILDIR STRUCTURE A directory in maildir format has three subdirectories,  all on the same filesystem:  tmp, new, and cur.

Hi guys.

My conf:

My problem is that dovecot is creating aditional folders:

#ls -l /home/vmail

drwx------ 6 vmail vmail 184 2010-09-01 01:31 escuelasuperiordecoaching.com drwx------ 8 vmail vmail 392 2010-09-01 10:58 pablo.rodriguez@escuelasuperiordecoaching.com

# ls -l escuelasuperiordecoaching.com/ drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 120 2010-08-30 14:35 pablo.rodriguez

I'm receiving mail in /home/vmail/escuelasuperiordecoaching.com/pablo.rodriguez/new without problem, but why is dovecot creating aditional folders?

My log:

I can see that Dovecot is creating when...I login?

What's the problem? I can't understand...

Thanks in advance.
