Sieve global path?

[Bill Shirley]

Alex, that's good to know.

The defaults for Fedora:
[0:root at elmo squid]$ doveconf | grep maildir_stat_dirs
maildir_stat_dirs = no
[0:root at elmo squid]$ grep maildir_stat_dirs /etc/dovecot/conf.d/*
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf:#maildir_stat_dirs = no

I haven't overridden it.  All my changes are in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/99-mystuff.conf
except for 10-ssl.conf where I commented out ssl_cert & ssl_key.

Like I said, I'm not having a problem with anything unwanted showing up:
[0:root at elmo squid]$ ls /home/bill/Maildir/
cur                  dovecot.index.log.2 dovecot.list.index.log    dovecot.svbin maildir.dovecot.purge.conf  shared-maildirs
dovecot.index        dovecot.index.thread dovecot.list.index.log.2  dovecot-uidlist maildir.purge.conf.bak      sieve
dovecot.index.cache  dovecot-keywords dovecot.mailbox.log       dovecot-uidvalidity new                         subscriptions
dovecot.index.log    dovecot.list.index dovecot.sieve             dovecot-uidvalidity.50841ad2 shared-folders              tmp
