This was based on the info found here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/mbox?action=show&redirect=MailLocation%2FMbox If you are using V2 as that entry implies then things are very different!
V2 deals in 'namespaces' and I found that by using one namespace for each 'repository' rather than concatenating them as with V1 things became more manageable.
By using
mail_location = mbox:~/mail you seem to have taken the first step.
My 10-mail.conf has FOUR distinct namespace
One for my INBOX in ~/Mail One for my local active IMAP one for my local ARCHIVE One for the spool
Of course this is a single user workstation so I don't have to worry about "%U" things :-)
I've noticed things sneak in, without warning, and cause problems. I installed 13.1 on this same computer a few months ago and dovecot worked fine. Now it stops. What happened between then & now? This isn't the first time where something broke between installs. BTW, I took the opportunity of this rebuild to create a separate partition for /var/spool/mail, though I suppose I could have just linked to a directory on /home. Like you, this is a single user system, though I have set up a mail server for multiple users in the past. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
