If I want to user dovecot deliver into a folder that is not at the root level - how do I do that? How do I specify a folder in a folder?

For *all* messages? Or for certain messages?

Kind of an incomplete question.


Certain messages. I'm talking about the deliver utility - the -m option.

Usage: dovecot-lda [-c <config file>] [-a <address>] [-d <username>] [-p <path>]
                  [-f <envelope sender>] [-m <mailbox>] [-e] [-k]

when specifying the mailbox - how do you specify a subfolder? Do you use a / separator?

You have to experiment a bit. As far as I remember, there had been bug reports in some versions that maybe a mixture of "/" and the configured separator must be used, e.g.

prefix = shared.
separator = .

try:
- -m shared.sub1.sub2.sub3
- -m shared.sub1/sub2/sub3
- -m shared/sub1/sub2/sub3

When I used Dovecot LDA, the first variant worked.

Yes - I tried that and it worked with the period. However I think if I weren't using maildir format it might have failed. There should be an official way to do this.
