Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: courier-imap
Running Ubuntu Edgy server.
I have been upgrading an old server. For various reasons I have my
maildir configured to point at a folder called ".maildir" instead of the
default Maildir.
I restored my .maildir folders from my backup
Then I changed courier-imap /etc/courier/imapd:
At the bottom of the file it says:
MAILDIRPATH=Maildir
I changed that to .maildir
After restarting the server I found that the server still tries to
deliver mail to the Maildir folder.
==> mail.log <==
Jan 1 01:30:51 enoch couriertcpd: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory
And ps gave me:
root 4780 4779 0 01:08 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/couriertcpd
-address=192.168.1.12 -maxprocs=40 -maxperip=20 -nodnslookup -noidentlookup 143
/usr/lib/courier/courier/imaplogin /usr/bin/imapd Maildir
I looked in /etc/init.d/courier-imap and found that it uses the MAILDIR
variable instead of MAILDIRPATH
FIX: Change the default imapd and imapd-ssl so MAILDIRPATH=Maildir ->
MAILDIR=Maildir
The error must have been there back since Hoary. But looking back at my
old config files I hacked my way through the problem back then by
changing the /etc/default/courier file, since that one uses the right
variable.
