This is how Dovecot names them. Files delivered directly by Postfix have a bit different names, like 1690675359.10129_0.hostname:2,S where "hostname" is the hostname of your mail server (same as "mail" in your example). > Now, I have another, unrelated email account (not my mail server), and I > have set up Thunderbird with local Maildir support.

Definitely they come from Thunderbird. When a mail client retrieves mail from the server, it has no idea of how the mail files are actually named on the server. It names them by its own. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
