Hi, I want to pick up this discussion. I am trying to achieve the same, but I am using Maildir instead.
Here's the (relevent part of the) config file as configured by the recent suggestion: # We're using Maildir format mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir # Authentication configuration: auth_verbose = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain userdb passwd { } userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/daten/mailusers/%u } passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd } } But when I try to login in to a system's user mailbox, it'll be rejected as unknown in my Dovecot's passwd file. I am converting from courier-imap, so I am kind of new to Dovecot. Markus
