Hello Aki,
thanks. I already found that options. I was trying also chatgtp to help me and
it offered me:
mail_home = /var/maildir/%{user}
mail_driver = maildir
mail_path = /var/maildir/%{user}
mail_index_path = /var/dovecot-index/%{user}
mail_control_path = /var/dovecot-control/%{user}
The difference is the %{user} in mail_home. Should it be with or without it?
Thanks
Marek
