Hello,
I've just installed Dovecot from the http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/
repository. But I have a problem with the mdbox Format.
When the home folder is empty Dovecot should create the folder
structure if the first mail arrived or the user logs in the first time.
But I get following error:
Sep 16 12:30:41 smtp dovecot: lmtp(31244): Connect from local
Sep 16 12:30:41 smtp dovecot: lmtp(31244, [email protected]): Error:

Sep 16 12:30:41 smtp dovecot: lmtp(31244, [email protected]): Error:

quit
Also if I try to create a mailbox by hand I get a similar error.
doveadm([email protected]): Error: file_dotlock_open() failed with file
/var/mail/es030107p1/mdbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log:
No such file or directory
doveadm([email protected]): Error: Can't create mailbox INBOX: Internal
error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2010-09-16
14:07:42]
If I now create the dbox-Mails directory and the dovecot.index.log by
hand and make a
doveadm -v force-resync -u [email protected] INBOX
everthing is alright.
Also I can not create a new IMAP-folder with Thunderbird.
It seems Dovecot forgets to create the dbox-Mails directory and the
dovecot.index.log file.
Now my config:
# 2.0.2 (eb5adb193064): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
