Hi,

my goal is to provide a special mailbox for some mail accounts. The user should get the information, to look somewhere else. The user must not change anything at all. I also don't want to provide a mailbox for each user.

I got the setup below, which seems to run with Dovecot v2.2; however, "CONTROL=MEMORY" is not documented. Is the setup stable for next versions of Dovecot or is CONTROL=MEMORY not a feature, but a bug?

======

user settings:

home=/home/nomailbox mail=maildir:/home/nomailbox/Maildir:INDEX=MEMORY:CONTROL=MEMORY uid=vmail gid=vmail

The structure of the directory:

/home/nomailbox/: total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 24 2007 ./ drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Sep 9 10:36 ../ dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Oct 24 2007 Maildir/
