[Dovecot] Lost %d variable

[Aladdin]

Well, in case you haven't yet been able to tell, I'm certainly no dovecot
guru.  For my email address, aladdin at csunv.com, I thought the referenced
line would give me a mail location of /var/mail/csunv.com/aladdin, and
indeed it does.  I would think your way would give me a mail location of
/var/mail/csunv.com/aladdin/Maildir, which is not what I want.

This seems to be working fine.  Regarding INBOX, I have a directory .INBOX
in /var/mail/csunv.com/aladdin, which I think is what I want and is correct.
At any rate, using both Outlook/imap and Thunderbird/imap clients I'm
accessing my mail and mail folders just fine.

My problem isn't the location of the mail boxes, my problem is that dovecot
is not filling in the %d variable in deliver & sieve, while it is doing so
in the main part of dovecot just fine and and, again in the main part of
dovecot, finding all the mailboxes with no problem.  I have none of the
issues referenced in Stephan's http://wiki.dovecot.org/DomainLost, and the
auth_debug printout shows no change occurring to the user name/domain.

Thanks,
Allen
