I'd be really grateful if someone running a dovecot IMAP (or IMAPS) server
could tell me exactly how their email folders are arranged.
A while back when I was running mid-size Dovecot installation on which
mail spool was arranged something like
/san/%LUN/domain/%UID/inbox
Indexes were at /var/lib/dovecot/%LUN/domain/%UID/ or thereabouts.
Currently I am running just a small personal server where I use ~/Maildir/.
What is the mail_location setting in /etc/dovecot.conf ?
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecot/%u
Homes are on RAID-5 (compressed ZFS), INDEX location is on RAID-10 (also
compressed ZFS).
Does the client see an inbox folder?
Yes.
If so, what directory on the server contains these email messages?
Standard Maildir locations
~/Maildir/new for unread messages
~/Maildir/cur for read messages
