Hi @ll, Timo, on 2.0.9
i have a user reporting pop3 leaving mails on the server does not work
as desired

i have

namespace default {
#  type = private
  separator = /
  prefix = ""
  list = yes
#  hidden = no
  subscriptions = yes
}

namespace virtual {
#  type = private
  prefix = "virtual/"
  separator = /
  location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++
#location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual

  hidden = yes
  list = no
  subscriptions= no
}

namespace real {
#  type = private
  prefix = "RealMails/"
  separator = /
  list = no
  hidden = yes
}

and

 pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv

before it was pop3_uidl_format = %g ( not sure what best )


  # Permanently save UIDLs sent to POP3 clients, so pop3_uidl_format changes
  # won't change those UIDLs. Currently this works only with Maildir.
  #pop3_save_uidl = no


my guess is that
location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++
isnt enough

should be
location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++:INDEX=~/

to store/use indexes in the local maildir which is physical under
/usr/local/virtual/domain/user at domain

any meanings to this
