<font face="Verdana">I have this account, /usr/home/me<br>
To be able to admin websites, I created a folder /usr/home/me/www
, containing my siteroot /usr/home/me/www/mysite.com<br>
<br>
My dovecot.config:<br>
mail_location = mbox:/home/%u:INBOX=/var/mail/%u<br>
<br>
the actual mailfolder is </font><font face="Verdana"><font
face="Verdana">/usr/home/me/mail , which I defined in my
mailclient as 'mail/'<br>
<br>
The issue now is that Dovecot is indexing my whole </font></font><font
face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana">/usr/home/me/
folder, including the www folder, in which it also idexes
every folder that is in </font></font></font><font
face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><font
face="Verdana">/usr/home/me/www/mysite.com .<br>
It puts in these folders an .imap folder that is containing
the exact content of the folder it is put in. So my site
takes double space by this Dovecot indexing.<br>
<br>
To solve this issue, I defined my mail_location line as </font></font></font></font><font
face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><font
face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana">mail_location =
mbox:/home/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u<br>
and removed the 'mail/' directive from my mail client.<br>
<br>
For some reason this does not prevent Dovecot to index the
subfolders of </font></font></font></font></font><font
face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><font
face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><font
face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><font
face="Verdana">/usr/home/me/www/<br>
<br>
- Do I have to remove all Dovecot related indexing
files by hand to solve this and restart Dovecot
service afterwards?<br>
- Can you tell me how I can define the Dovecot
index files location so that there will be no
.imap folder created anymore in my </font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font><font

subfolder(s)?</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font><br>

Thanks for you help! <br>
