> My dovecot.conf sets > mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir/ dovecot has sometimes had trouble with "~". I use "%h" instead. (I think there is a mention of this on one of the wiki pages.) I don't recall if I changed to "%h" because I was having trouble or because I wanted to avoid trouble.
Here's what I have: mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir On disk, I have ~/Maildir/cur/ (and new/ and tmp/) for the Inbox. I also have things like ~/Maildir/.Trash/cur/ (and new/ and tmp/).
