Hi,

sorry for the imprecise information.

Postfix is configured for virtual hosting the different lookup tables are stored in a mysql db. The delivery path for the different email addresses is always '/mail/domainpart/localpart/', of course without the 'new/'! :-)

My dovecot.conf follows

base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imaps pop3s disable_plaintext_auth = yes login_user = dovecot login_process_size = 32 login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 3 login_max_processes_count = 128 login_max_logging_users = 256 login_greeting = Dovecot ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c login_log_format = %$: %s max_mail_processes = 128 default_mail_env = maildir:/mail/%d/%n/ mailbox_idle_check_interval = 10 mail_full_filesystem_access = no protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { } auth_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth auth_debug = yes auth default { }

I hope it helps to discover the problem.

Thanks!

I'm using Postfix as MTA, the new messages deliver by postfix to the maildir: /mail/domain.tld/userpart/new/

Does /mail/domain.tld/userpart/new/ have [new|cur|tmp] subdirectories, please?

I would normally expect to tell Postfix to deliver to "/path/to/ maildir/" (note trailing slash - I think this is used to indicate delivery to a maildir rather than a mbox) and have Postfix sort out the rest. The "new" bit in the end is normally a maildir subfolder and your IMAP server will move read messages from "/path/to/maildir/ new/" to "/path/to/maildir/cur/" - because the [new|cur|tmp] subdirectories are standard within the maildir structure you don't need to mention them in any of your configuration files.

Is there a bug known or do i something wrong?

Well, you could document the problem better. Examples of configurations files and an ls -l showing the full path to a problem email message might very well help.
