Hi, I change the dovecot.conf default_mail_env = mbox:/Mail/IMAP/%u/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u After I did the change, I restart dovecot with the hope that folder that I create will be stored in /Mail/IMAP/%u. Then I use Mozzila as my email client and change the IMAP server directory to ~nina/IMAP/ which is the link to /Mail/IMAP/nina/. But then I can not create folder anymore from Mozzila, or view any thing other than inbox. I am still able to see message in inbox since I haven't change the location of inbox. Please help.

With Dovecot you can't by default specify the mail directory from IMAP client itself. You could do this by setting mail_full_filesystem_access = yes, but that's probably not what you want.
Since you already set the directory in server side, all you have to do in Mozilla is simply clear the IMAP server directory.
