I just did a Tumbleweed upgrade. then I had to fix dovecot. No warning
that dovecot was going to break what so ever. Below is all the things I
had to fix. And then I could not read my email in Thunderbird because
you changed:
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
to
mail_driver = mbox
mail_path = ~/mail
mail_inbox_path = /var/spool/mail/%{user}
and the "%u" to "%{user}" was the showstopper.
What a crock of BS! I spent 3 hours determining the problem and then
fixing dovecot because you decided to make major changes for no good
reason. It worked just fine the way it was. You could have automated the
changes by providing a utility that would make the changes the first
time it started up after the upgrade.
I had to try to start dovecot and when it failed to start look in the
log and see the error and fix it. Over and over and over and over and
over and over and over and...
Like I said what a bunch of BS! Yes this is a rant. And maybe openSuSE's
is too blame also.
