Hi, I'm using dovecot-2.3.21.1 on fedora42. It seems that increasingly
remote clients are only supporting the full email address as the login ID
instead of just the username. One such example is Apollo.io, an AI sales
platform that uses IMAP to connect to a remote server to send and receive
emails.
The documentation I've found on this appears to be deprecated or
incomplete. Do I want to look for "shared namespace" documentation?
Currently, emails are stored in /var/spool/mail/username. Does this need
to change to something like /var/spool/[1]domain.com/username?
We've been using full-address logins here for 20yrs or so. We use
/var/mail/<domain>/<uname> for mail storage. No shared namespace stuff.
We use MySQL-based authentication. It's all very easy to set up.
