<body>Hi,<div><br /></div><div>I am using Dovecot v 2.2.32 and Sendmail 8.15.2</div><div><br /></div><div>My "folder" config on Dovecot is :<b> mbox:/var/spool2/%u/mail:LA<span>YOUT=fs:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u</span></b></div><div><span>But in fact, any email arriving into the mailbox, stays in Sendmail into the file location (by default) : /var/spool/mail/user1 and any folder created, can be reached via Dovecot and is located to /var/spool2/user1</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div>If I want to backup the user1's emails, I need to backup the "dovecot" location ( /var/spool2/user1) <u><b>but also</b></u> the Sendmail file location ( /var/spool/mail/user1)</div><div>If I don't do that, I loose fresh emails which are still into the Sendmail directory, which are not copied into the Dovecot location.. Sounds weird</div><div><br /></div><div>I would expect to backup only my Dovecot directory and my email client should see only the Dovecot directory</div><div>I would expect to have small sendmail email file user ( /var/spool/mail/user1 ) and i should't car about these files. Everything should be copied automatically into my Dovecot location</div><div><br /></div><div>what do you think ?</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Stéve</div></body></html>
