[vchkpw] Duplicate pw_dir first time I use webmail
Hi everyone. I'm not sure if this is a vpopmail or a dovecot issue. When I browse the ~vpopmail/domains/mydomain/ dir I see that a subfolder named 0 contains part of the accounts. And the pw_dir of the newly created accounts is placed in that directory. I can retrieve the messages via pop3 but not via imap/webmail because the messages are checked in the upper dir. Trying to be more specific, if bob is the pw_name and ~vpopmail/domains/mydomain/0/bob is the pw_dir, when bob connects via webmail/imap a dir ~vpopmail/domains/mydomain/bob (not in the 0/ subdir) is created and he cannot retrieve his message. Can you tell me the reason of that 0/ subdir? Is it normal? Here is my config: netqmail 1.05 vpopmail 5.4.25 dovecot 1.2.2 webmail: roundcube 0.3 Thanks in advance for any answer Roberto !DSPAM:4b05668f32719077512184!

How ever we don't know if it's a bug in Dovecot or a problem with your configuration. I looked through all the change logs of Dovecot 1.2.3 till 1.2.7 and didn't see any mention of a fix. Could you post your Dovecot config file to a pastie site (like www.pastie.org) and give us the url so we can take a look ? Regards, Rick !DSPAM:4b056d9332711694420003!

Re: [vchkpw] Duplicate pw_dir first time I use webmail
I would expect that the dovecot reads the pw_dir from the vpopmail db instead of using this line mail_location = maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/%d/%n/Maildir which not contains the 0/ subdir. Is there a way to inhibit vpopmail from storing user Maildir in the subdirs? regards Roberto !DSPAM:4b05721d32714882885168!

You are forcing it to be in /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/username You want to use mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir instead. Regards, Rick !DSPAM:4b0575e832711937610741!

In Dovecot pw_dir is equal to %h, so the correct usage is mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir To disable the hashing of the user subdirs you can use the compile flag --disable-users-big-dir but you don't want to do this unless you know you will never have a large user base.
