Hi Folks,
This may relate to one of the few problems I see with dovecot.
This had nothing to do with outlook; rather mutt or kmail.
A couple years ago, sendmail delivered my mail to
~/Mail/<user> and I could cd to ~/Mail and grep and find the
string(s) sought.
Dovecot seems to save its mail on my mailserver as
~/Mailbox/<dotuser>/*. What do I change in the conf file to
get rid of the directory DOT prefixes?
If there is any documentation on this, please point me at it?
