hello
I see this message in the dovecot error log every time
a user connect to IMAP service.
imap(xxxxxxxx): Error: opendir(/user/xxxxxxxx/.imap) failed: No such
file or directory
In the server's config I've this
mail_location =
mbox:%h/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecot/index/%u
As we can see INDEX files are not living in user's home directories but
in /var/spool/dovecot/index/%u
so why this error message ?
BTW : users access normally to their IMAP folders , I'm just curious
about this message
which is not marked as warning but error
Thank you
