I have mail_location set to milder:~/Maildir at the top-level of the dovecot.conf. If I try to set it again in the userdb userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql default_fields= uid=vpopmail gid=vchkpw mail_location=/usr/local/virtual/%u } Well, I thought that threw an error last time I tried it. Hmm. OK. <watches the logs with suspicion for a while> OK, never mind. I don't know what I did last time, that does seem to work. -- Nothing gold can stay -- Robert Frost Stay gold -- Johnny Cade
