With this setting, all folders are empty, I guess understandable, because the mdbox has its own indexes stored locally with it. Does not explain though why inbox is empty.

It looks like if you add INDEX it is being used for everything. -----Original Message----- From: Aki Tuomi Sent: dinsdag 14 mei 2019 9:43 To: Marc Roos; dovecot Subject: Re: Userdb userdb_mail=, error Mailbox list driver maildir++: maildir_name not supported by this driver mdbox:~/mdbox:INBOX=/ var/spool/mail/%u:CONTROL=~/mail/control:INDEX=/var/dovecot/%u/index:LAY OUT=maildir++ You can't use LAYOUT=maildir++ here.
