All this past week, I have been trying to get dovecot to work properly.
For some reason, it now wants to use the users home directory, instead
of ~/mail. Dovecot.conf has the line mail_location = mbox:/mail. I
have also tried with mail_location =
mbox:/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs. Despite this, the home
directory continues to be used, with all the files and directories
(including hidden) appearing in the email client. Why is this happening
now? I have set up dovecot several times in the past and never had this
happen. Is this someone's idea of a "feature"? How many more hours
must I waste trying to get this to work properly???
Here is my dovecot.conf:
## Dovecot configuration file
# If you're in a hurry, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/QuickConfiguration
# "doveconf -n" command gives a clean output of the changed settings. Use it
# instead of copy&pasting files when posting to the Dovecot mailing list.
# '#' character and everything after it is treated as comments. Extra spaces
# and tabs are ignored. If you want to use either of these explicitly,
put the
# value inside quotes, eg.: key = "# char and trailing whitespace "
# Default values are shown for each setting, it's not required to uncomment
# those. These are exceptions to this though: No sections (e.g.
namespace {})
# or plugin settings are added by default, they're listed only as examples.
# Paths are also just examples with the real defaults being based on
configure
# options. The paths listed here are for configure --prefix=/usr
