.dovecot.sieve.log/tmp failed: Not a directory
Hello
I am running Dovecot 2.3.9 for IMAP access with RainLoop webmail and have noticed for an account where I have some filters setup that I get the following error messages in the dovecot log file:
Mar 17 19:02:50 mbox dovecot: imap(mail@domain.tld)<10511><ubAzvhCh1N2yxeu/>: Error: stat(/var/vmail/domain.tld/mail/.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory Mar 17 19:02:50 mbox dovecot: imap(mail@domain.tld)<10511><ubAzvhCh1N2yxeu/>: Error: stat(/var/vmail/domain.tld/mail/.dovecot.sieve.log/tmp) failed: Not a directory
This happens when I access the Dovecot mailbox server using an iphone. Also on the iphone I see these "mail" folders but they are not really mail folders... With Thunderbird as mail client it looks all good and I don't get this error.
Is this normal? if not, how can I prevent this issue?
Regards, Mabi

This is usually prevented by not configuring mail_home and mail_location to same directory:
mail_home=/var/vmail/%Ld/%Lu/ mail_location=maildir:~/mail
or something similar.

Thanks for the tip.
This means that if I now configure "mail_location=maildir:~/mail", I will need to move all mail folders ("." dot directories) including "new,cur,tmp" for the INBOX into the ~/mail direcotry of the specific user on the file system of the server?
Do I also need to move all the following files into ~/mail too?
- dovecot.*
- dovecot-*
- maildirsize
- subscriptions

Yes, those need to be moved too.
