Hi,
I'm running Cyrus imapd and postfix on a box. I would like postfix to
deliver incoming mail not to /var/spool/mail/<username>, but rather to
/var/spool/imap/<username>/Inbox, where the latter is apparently not a
flat file, but rather a typical imap directory structure ("maildir"?)
Currently incoming mail for <username> is simply appended to
/var/spool/mail/<username>
Can someone here roughly tell me how to do this?
In main.cf, add or edit the line:
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/imap/
The trailing slash marks it as a Maildir-style mailbox, as opposed to a
flat file mailbox. The username will be appended to the config value
automatically.
Your current setting would appear to be
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
That creates the situation you are currently seeing, which is mail
stored in flat files in /var/spool/mail/<username>.
The Inbox directory in the IMAP structure is created by the mail client,
not the server.
