[Dovecot] cannot use password-file for userdb
OK, I am attempting to use the userdb connection to facilitate per user migration to Maildir format from mbox. Here's the first user:
more /home/dovecot.passwd health:$1$MCtvt/Tz$FmKqU/cbWlBhKnhc5W.Ko.:1152:1152:/home/health:userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir
The configuration was set up as:
userdb passwd { }
I changed this to:
userdb passwd-file { args = /home/dovecot.conf }
And unfortunately the dovecot daemon dies after successfully launching.
Suggestions?

The dovecot password file is really /home/dovecot.passwd, but this still does not resolve the authentication issue for user health.
Still seeking suggestions.

Actually the userdb was wrong, but now I am seeing the following:
Oct 26 17:26:54 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=5142 Oct 26 17:26:54 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=pop3^Ilip=66.207.133.228^Irip=71.162.15.2^Ilport=110^Irport=4238^Iresp=<hidden> Oct 26 17:26:54 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT^I1^I Oct 26 17:26:54 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT<hidden> Oct 26 17:26:54 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(health,71.162.15.2): lookup: user=health file=/home/dovecot.passwd
How do I get this to recognize the :userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir in the dovecot.passwd file??

This shows the passdb lookup part. Does it continue? If so, post it
too. It should show more for the userdb lookup.

the dovecot.passwd file??
Post your current dovecot -n output.

I cannot get to the Maildir info for a user. The user's user_db is set up in /home/dovecot.passwd.
Here is the transcript of the pop3 connection:

WHY can I get the emails from ~health/Maildir/new ???

I guess you need two ':' between 1152 and /home/health and userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir
So the line should look like this:
health:$1$MCtvt/Tz$FmKqU/cbWlBhKnhc5W.Ko.:1152:1152::/home/health::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir

Great, I thank you, however that has not changed the communications at all.
