Get rid of the "dbox-Mails"-folder

[Aki Tuomi]

Does it work better if you use
mail_location=sdbox:~/sdbox:DIRNAME=

    Hey again,

      

      sorry, but I have to correct me: Even with dot it's not working
      completely. The subscriptions file is not created and the
      dovecot-acl file has the wrong path, too.

      

      :-(

      Hey again,

      

      I've found a working configuration: mail_location =
      sdbox:~/:FULLDIRNAME=.

      

      I use a dot instead of slash or empty value.

      

      Now my folder structure looks like I want and Dovecot is working
      fine.

      

      Can anyone (maybe even a Dovecot developer?) say if the
      configuration is okay? I've tried to check the source code, but I
      don't know C as good as it's needed for that.

        Hey to all,

        

        is it possible to get rid of the "dbox-Mails"-folder when using
        sdbox?

        

        Currently my folder structure looks like this (I hope the output
        from tree would be formatted well):

        /srv/mail/

        └── example.com

            └── user

                ├── dovecot-acl-list

                ├── dovecot-attributes

                ├── dovecot.list.index.log

                ├── dovecot.mailbox.log

                ├── dovecot-uidvalidity

                ├── dovecot-uidvalidity.5b3f746f

                ├── mailboxes

                │   ├── Drafts

                │   │   └── dbox-Mails

                │   │       └── dovecot.index.log

                │   ├── INBOX

                │   │   └── dbox-Mails

                │   │       ├── dovecot.index.cache

                │   │       ├── dovecot.index.log

                │   │       └── u.1

                │   ├── Junk

                │   │   └── dbox-Mails

                │   │       └── dovecot.index.log

                │   ├── Sent

                │   │   └── dbox-Mails

                │   │       └── dovecot.index.log

                │   └── Trash

                │       └── dbox-Mails

                │           └── dovecot.index.log

                └── subscriptions

        

        I would like to let it look like this:

        /srv/mail/

        └── example.com

            └── user

                ├── dovecot-acl-list

                ├── dovecot-attributes

                ├── dovecot.list.index.log

                ├── dovecot.mailbox.log

                ├── dovecot-uidvalidity

                ├── dovecot-uidvalidity.5b3f746f

                ├── mailboxes

                │   ├── Drafts

                │   │   └── dovecot.index.log

                │   ├── INBOX

                │   │   └── dovecot.index.cache

                │   │   └── dovecot.index.log

                │   │   └── u.1

                │   ├── Junk

                │   │   └──dovecot.index.log

                │   ├── Sent

                │   │   └── dovecot.index.log

                │   └── Trash

                │       └── dovecot.index.log

                └── subscriptions

        

        My path configuration:

        mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/dovecot-attributes

        mail_home = /srv/mail/%d/%n/

        mail_location = sdbox:~/

        

        I have tried

        mail_location = sdbox:~/:FULLDIRNAME=

        and

        mail_location = sdbox:~/:FULLDIRNAME=/

        but it doesn't work.

        

        The first doesn't change anything. The second auto-creates the
        folders after first login like I want, but after next login they
        are greyed out and no longer accessible.

        

        Is it possible to get rid of the "dbox-Mails"-folder? I want
        this because I don't like to have an unneeded deep folder
        structure. Or is there a good reason to let the "dbox-Mails"
        folder in my setup?

        

        Greetings,
