I personnaly use courier's maildirmake, which is a real binary unlike dovecote's maildirmake which is a thin bash wrapper around the linux mkdir command. Courier's maildirmake on the other hand has this nice -q option that let you specify a quota, at creation time of afterwards. I'm using it

All sieve scripts need to be compiled."default" means absence. So default scripts are used when user scripts don't exist. If users have their sieves scripts then the default won't be executed. If you want to impose your script on all users then use sieve_before not sieve_default. For example, I

Re: Transitioning away from mail_location = maildir:~

Thanks Alex. I myself ran into these problems as described above and having distinct Maildir and Homedir helped it. The main reason being dovecot not making any distinction between a folder and maildir folder, which seems to have a very simple solution though. -- Yassine.
