I was not saying it was a bug, was just asking for some advice on this :)

But yes, I've read this some times but didn't noticed the end of the
mail_location.
Understood and thanks for this!

I still have only a few users so I can convert them, as I don't want to use
the below option:

maildir_stat_dirs = no

Thanks for your help,
