Oh, thanks!
I was simply using rsync to synchronize the control/index directory tree into
the maildir, incorrectly assuming the trees were the same in both
configurations:
rsync -uav /mail/{index,control}/${user:0:1}/${user:0:2}/${user}/
/mail/${user:0:1}/${user:0:2}/${user}/Maildir/;
I see now, as you said, that the control and index files for INBOX should be
placed directly in the maildir, and that they have been recreated for the users
in question.
I'll try modifying the sync part to also move the files from the .INBOX folder:
rsync -uav /mail/{index,control}/${user:0:1}/${user:0:2}/${user}/ ~/Maildir/;
mv -v ~/Maildir/.INBOX/* ~/Maildir/;
rmdir -v ~/Maildir/.INBOX;
Thanks again!
Best regards,
Eirik
