Greetings all,

I'll skip the details of the setup, except to say that it has a
non-standard (and non-templateable) home directory path for virtual
users. Ran into the following problem when a debian (possibly from
backports) packaged dovecot-1.1.2 was upgraded to a
dovecot-1.1.13-2~bpo50+1 (definately from backports):

sieve-storage: root directory specified by mail data does not exist: ~/Maildir

After some analysis, it would appear that ManageSieve (looks like
0.10.4 is included in the debian backports) doesn't do the tilde
expansion before doing a stat test to see if the ~/Maildir exists.

Here's a quick diff of the change I made to make it work:

so...@madawg:~/tmp/deb-dove/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.4/src/lib-sievestorage$
diff sieve-storage.c ../../../sieve-storage.c
73c73
<       const char *root_dir, *dir, *p, *d;
---
      const char *root_dir, *dir, *p, *d, *home;
127a128,133
      /* expand tilde in root so that the stat below works */
    home = getenv("HOME");
    if (home != NULL && *home != '\0') {
        root_dir = home_expand_tilde( root_dir, home );
    }



This was fixed some time ago:

http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-1.1-managesieve/rev/2515d477da9f

I'm not sure if this was the best way to fix this (or if this is even
a bug, I might just have a crazy setup).
Best workaround is to just explicitly specify sieve_storage= in your config file, meaning that ManageSieve will not use your mail location.

Regards,
