[Dovecot] Really dumb question

[Al Blake]

Thanks Reuben......I got there just as your reply came in......for some reason I didn’t find them before.
Found them all as hidden directories under Maildir.
Now I can switch off my windows mail server :)

Do you see anything if you run:

ls -la Maildir/

in the users directories?

That's where the indexes are often stored..
