Hello,
after running dovecot for a while, I stumbled accross the warning, not to have mail and home directory settings point to one and same directory.
Here is the output of dovecot -n:

> dovecot -n
# 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

  socket:

    client:
      path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
      mode: 432
      user: postfix
      group: postfix
    master:
      path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
      mode: 384
      user: vmail

In "args: uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir allow_all_users=yes" I should delete "Maildir".

My question is:
What files do I have to copy from /Maildir to the home directory /var/vmail/%d/%n/ ?
Are there other side effects, I have to consider?

Thank you very much for your help!

Stefan
