Hello,
I am trying to set up dovecot for IMAP where I have a few maildirs.
I'm using version 1.0.10.
Basically one for each email account I have (3 at the moment).
Call them account1, account2, and account3.
I have the basic maildir location as /var/mail/user/ and I set up .Account1
.Account2 and .Account3 under my user.
So it looks like this.
/var/mail/user/new/
/var/mail/user/cur/
/var/mail/user/dovecot files
/var/mail/user/.Account1
/var/mail/user/.Account1/new/
/var/mail/user/.Account1/cur/
/var/mail/user/.Account1/dovecot files
/var/mail/user/.Account2
/var/mail/user/.Account2/new/
/var/mail/user/.Account2/cur/
/var/mail/user/.Account2/dovecot files
/var/mail/user/.Account3
/var/mail/user/.Account3/new/
/var/mail/user/.Account3/cur/
/var/mail/user/.Account3/dovecot files
The mail gets delivered fine with fetchmail/procmail in maildir format under
.Account1 2 or 3 but I can't get dovecot to index it (ie move it to new so
that it shows up on the client - outlook). My config looks like the
following:
# 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

pop3_uidl_format(imap):
pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv
auth default:

Any help would be appreciated. TIA,
Geoff
