[Dovecot] mail location questions
Hi all,
I'm reading the docs and confs and it's not quite sinking in, mostly cuz I've been reading IMAP docs for a week now trying to find one that I want. :)
I have a mail server that will have about 800 webmail users without actual home directories. Can I set up the IMAP dir in another location, like /var/imap, where everyone can read/store their mail? Or just use the /var/spool/mail/<user> mbox file and make a sub dir for the indexing files?
Sorry if this is basic, all I saw was ~/Maildir locs. :P
Thanks!

Each user must have a separate directory so that it's possible to have more than just one mailbox. That directory could be called home directory, but it doesn't matter where it's located. http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/VirtualUsers and http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/Authentication are the latest docs about it.
