OK gonna check that > Do you actually want the mboxes in the root of their home directories? > ~/mail is probably safer as it will keep dovecot from trying to access other > files that might be in the root of their home directories. > So the best and safest would be mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u The machine is a "mail server only" that's why I did this there are no other files than imap folders in users's home directories. Thanks for your help :-)
