Hi Steffen,

   Thank you very much for your answer, I did not know I was supposed to have that home folder. I have moved everything on the folder  <user home folder>/* to <user home folder>/mail. I have restarted dovecot and nothing seems to be broken. However, I see I have the following files inside <user home folder>/mail : 

dovecot-acl-list
dovecot.list.index.log
dovecot.mailbox.log.2
dovecot.sieve.log
dovecot.svbin
dovecot-uidvalidity.51e5857f
sieve
storage
dovecot.list.index
dovecot.mailbox.log
dovecot.sieve
dovecot.sieve.log.0
dovecot-uidvalidity
mailboxes
spamassassin
subscriptions

Which ones should I move to <user home folder>/ ?

Thank you!
Felix
