Dovecot by default doesn't use one, but it has a configuration parameter to set it. I have in my /etc/dovecot.conf file : mail_location = mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u I have it set this way so when a user shells into our mail server and uses pine / alpine, the mailboxes are in the place that text-based MUA expects. Configured this way, RoundCube can use its default : > $rcmail_config['imap_root'] = ''; Another advantage to configuring Dovecot this way makes it miss all the normal garbage in a user's home directory ( .bashrc, .bash_profile, etc. ), since all e-mail is in its own tidy directory. -- Charles Dostale System Admin - Silver Oaks Communications http://www.silveroaks.com/ 824 17th Street, Moline IL 61265 _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/users/
