Package: dovecot-imapd
Version: 1:2.1.7-6
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I recently upgraded dovecot.
It went from working, with a full set of mail and sub-folders to working having
(apparently) discarded all of my mail.
I poked around a bit, and found all of my mail where I expected it
(~/Maildir/), and a new file in /var/mail/%u .
Eventually I asked a friend for help, when I was told that
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf would not have inherited my working
configuration on the upgrade.
I set the mail_location to maildir:~/Maildir, restarted the daemon and all of
my mail came back, apart from the items that got delivered to /var/mail/%u .
Fortunately these are unimportant, so I've just deleted them.
Matthew
