Hmm, now I cannot clients any longer:

dovecot: master: Dovecot v20120221 (7d0d76df719f+) starting up
dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<test>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, mpid=65444, TLS
dovecot: imap(test): Error: user test: Initialization failed: mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/var/mail/.homedirs/test
dovecot: imap(test): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information.
[... repeated for every user clients are trying to connect ...]

I switched back immediately (production server), thus I didn't test if dsync might run now.

Here's the relevant part of my config:

	mail_home = /var/mail/.homedirs/%n
	mail_location = mdbox:/var/mail/.maildirs/%n

User's individual mail storage formats are fetched from userdb (sqlite3), which normally are mdbox, except for test which is sdbox.


Any idea what to test next?

Thanks and regards,
Michael
