Mail Alias Stores in mySQL Not working

With that query, it appears everyone is sharing the same mail directory.  It, of course, depends
on the value of `maildir`.  It doesn't look right.

Have you checked your MySQL log file to see the actual query?

We don't know your mailbox format.  Post your 'doveconf -n'.

We don't know what your table layout looks like.  Post your 'SHOW COLUMNS FROM `mailbox`'.

What is the on-disk directory layout for mail?
