[Bug 892283] New: Dovecot doesn't use ~/mail directory
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892283 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892283#c0 Summary: Dovecot doesn't use ~/mail directory Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: james.knott@rogers.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=602603) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=602603) dovecot.conf User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 I have recently tried installing dovecot, but for some reason, it insists on using the user home directory, instead of ~/mail. This results in all the files & directories (including hidden) in the user's directory appear in the mail client. I have installed dovecot several times before, but never experienced this problem. I have attached the dovecot.conf file: Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install openSUSE 13.1 2.Install & configure dovecot 3.Try connecting an email client to dovecot server Actual Results: Email app shows contents of user's home directory, rather than ~/mail Expected Results: Email should be showing the contents of the ~/mail directory This had worked properly with 13.1 earlier. But after installing last week, I cannot get this to work properly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

While I now have a functioning dovecot server in the correct directory, it's not picking up the incoming mail. Fetchmail gets the mail and it is readable with the mail command, but dovecot doesn't see it. What changed recently that caused all these problems to appear in something that worked well for years? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
