Hi,

I was heaving some grave problems with dovecot's ldap client that left me with the following settings for virtual users:

-------CUT------- mbox: data=/virtual/oeush.at/home/f.someone/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/f.someone.oeush.at -------CUT-------

data in that case was correct, yet the INBOX location was wrong, this should have been /virtual/oeush.at/var/mail/f.someone.oeush.at instead.

My settings for the retrieval of the mail environment in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf were like this:

-------CUT------- user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid,MailMessageStore=mail -------CUT-------

now at first glance this seems correct, but the problem was the upper cased "MailMessageStore" attribute name. changing it to "mailMessageStore" gave me the correct settings:

-------CUT------- mbox: data=/virtual/oeush.at/home/f.someone/mail/:INBOX=/virtual/oeush.at/var/mail/f.someone.oeush.at -------CUT-------

I don't have any of the LDAP RFCs ready, but I think that per default the case of the attribute _names_ should not matter when querying an ldap server.
