hi...
i want to use maildir format so like i see un some manuals i create this
directory for my virtual users:

# ls -la /export/home/vmail/prueba.uy/t*
/export/home/vmail/prueba.uy/toto1:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x   2 vmail    vmail        512 Apr 10 15:09 .
drwxr-xr-x   6 vmail    vmail        512 Apr  9 12:11 ..

/export/home/vmail/prueba.uy/toto3:
total 10
drwxr-xr-x   5 vmail    vmail        512 Mar 30 10:43 .
drwxr-xr-x   6 vmail    vmail        512 Apr  9 12:11 ..
drwxrwxrwx   2 vmail    vmail        512 Mar 30 10:43 cur
drwxrwxrwx   2 vmail    vmail        512 Apr 10 14:38 new
drwxrwxrwx   2 vmail    vmail        512 Apr 10 14:38 tmp

and i can send 2 messages to test (from toto1 to toto3):

# ls -la /export/home/vmail/prueba.uy/toto3/new/*
-rw-------   1 vmail    vmail        472 Apr 10 14:35
/export/home/vmail/prueba.uy/toto3/new/1176226531.V1980007I18576M32715.einstein
-rw-------   1 vmail    vmail        494 Apr 10 14:38
/export/home/vmail/prueba.uy/toto3/new/1176226715.V1980007I187b9M830764.einstein

i try to test them:

# telnet  100.0.4.180 143
Trying 100.0.4.180...
Connected to einstein (100.0.4.180).
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Dovecot ready.
1 login toto3 at einstein.prueba.uy passtoto3
1 OK Logged in
2 list "" *
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX"
2 OK List completed.

and this i the dovecot log file:

# tail /etc/dovecot/dovecot.log
dovecot: Apr 11 09:35:23 Info: Dovecot v1.0.rc26 starting up
dovecot: Apr 11 09:35:44 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<

dovecot: Apr 11 09:35:44 Info: IMAP(toto3 at einstein.prueba.uy): maildir:
root=prueba.uy/toto3, index=prueba.uy/toto3, control=, inbox=

so, i have these dudes:
- i not understad fine the log, i think the maildir location are ok, but the
test don't showme nothing ¿these is right? (my config for mail location in
dovecot.conf is mail_location= maildir:%h/%d/%n)
- in docs the maildir specification uses "Maildir" prefix in path ¿i must to
use always these prefix to set maildir location?
- i use procmail, i think that the message are not in HM format, ¿could
anybody comfirm these?

Salu2 ;)
