Delivering email to Maildir PreINBOX
Hi all,
I have a running dovecot with: $ dovecot -n # 2.2.18: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.1.0-x86_64-linode59 x86_64 Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two) ext4 auth_debug = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = yes default_internal_user = root imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } namespace inbox { location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } postmaster_address = pmatos protocols = imap quota_full_tempfail = yes service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = $default_internal_user } ssl = required ssl_cert =
I started to filter my email with imapfilter running on the same host as dovecot. I would therefore like to deliver email to a folder called PreINBOX so that imapfilter then sorts the email and ends up delivering only the useful email to INBOX.
How can I change the name of the inbox dovecot delivers to?
Best,

Best,
You can't change the name of the INBOX - the INBOX is always the INBOX. But you can choose the name of the target mailbox.
I don't know "imapfilter". I'd use http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve for mail filtering.

Depends on your way to deliver messages. With Dovecot LDA you could use the -m option.

Thanks Steffen, How do you pass an option to dovecot lda. I can't really find out where it is called. There's a 15-lda file but doesnt have options to call the lda with. Thanks.
