Using 2.3.8 and

mail_location =
maildir:/var/mail/%Ln:CONTROL=/var/lib/dovecot/control/%Ln:VOLATILEDIR=/var/lib/dovecot/control/%Ln:INDEX=/var/lib/dovecot/control/%Ln

+ also

user_query = SELECT ... CONCAT('maildir:/var/mail/', LOWER(u.login),
'/:CONTROL=/var/lib/dovecot/control/%Ln:VOLATILEDIR=/var/lib/dovecot/control/%Ln:INDEX=/var/lib/dovecot/control/%Ln')
AS mail, ...

but I noticed that dovecot creates

dovecot.index.log
dovecot.list.index.log

still in /var/mail/XYZ instad of /var/lib/dovecot/control/XYZ.


Is that normal?

I would expect /var/lib/dovecot/control/XYZ to be used also for these
two files.

ps. lmtp is used here
