[Dovecot] Mail directory funkiness
I am using dovecot-0.99.14-4.fc4 on FC4, was testing using mbox and than switched to using Maildir.
default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir
From evolution when I create a folder the folder is created in ~/mail instead of ~/Maildir
I am still rather new to dovecot, but this does not make sense. I made sure to restart dovecot, even added a .procmailrc.
cat .procmailrc MAILDIR=/home/tedkaz/Maildir :0 ./
I am going to grab the latest version and test with that, but if if anyone has insight into how I got here it would be appreciated :-)
Likely a pilot error.

~/mail is used for Dovecot indexes and each folder has its own directory for indexes, so that is not the actual mail folder.
Deliver some mail to your newly created folder and you should see it in ~/Maildir/folder.

I recommend that you go and grab that 1.0alpha3 tarball in any case :)

Actually this is not true, indexes are in ~/mail/.imap ..
You are sure that you restarted Dovecot after config change?

At this point it will likely save some internet bandwidth if I start from scratch with the latest version :-)
