| # If you're using mbox, giving a path to INBOX file (eg. /var/mail/%u) isn't
| # enough. You'll also need to tell Dovecot where the other mailboxes are and
| # where Dovecot can place its index files.
| #
| # There are a few special variables you can use, eg.:
| #
| #   %u - username
| #   %n - user part in user at domain, same as %u if there's no domain
| #   %d - domain part in user at domain, empty if there's no domain
| #   %h - home directory
| #
| # See doc/variables.txt for full list. Some examples:
| #
| #   mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%1u/%u/Maildir
| #   mail_location = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
| #   mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%d/%n/:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%n
| #
| # http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation
| #
| #mail_location = 



How about either or the following:

mailbox_location =
mailroot         =

To get something done, a committee should consist of no more than three
men, two of them absent.
