[Dovecot] Dovecot create mbox files. But why?
Hi there,
my dovecot is now running normaly, but there is a small problem.... We want to to use the maildir format at the mailstorage. But the imap part of dovecot creates the for mbox specific files, but why?
I created a passwd-file for a testuser. At this tme, there is only on line:
test2@dev2.abc.de:ujAN28k8.5zV2:99:99:*:*:*:*
in dovecot.conf are these interesting lines:
auth_userdb = static uid=99 gid=99 home=/vrmd/pop3imap/links2mailboxes/%u/Maildir auth_passdb = passwd-file /vrmd/mailin/conf/pop3imapdb.passdb.txt
I think, if a path ends of /Maildir dovecot will autodetect the maildir format.
So what is wrong?
Regards Mirko

No, Dovecot doesn't look at the filename to figure out if it's maildir or not. There are some autodetection things, but then it looks for ~/Maildir directory, and since you placed the home directly inside the maildir, it's not finding it.
Set default_mail_env = maildir:%h or drop the Maildir part from home.
