hi,

i'm trying to read the mails of virtual users by setting the value of mail_location to /mail/virtual/%d/%u/Maildir. however, the %d does not resolve to the domain. i am using ldap as my passdb and userdb. what am i missing here?

using this telnet session,

| $ telnet localhost imap | Trying 209.235.254.94... | Connected to localhost | Escape character is '^]'. | * OK Dovecot ready. | 1 login foo.bar@mydom.com TopSecret | 1 OK Logged in. | 2 select inbox | 2 NO Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2007-05-21 04:32:42]

here are the relative entries from the log:
