Re: Failback mailboxes?

Thanks for all the advice on how to configure systemd not to loose my emails after every update. Much appreciated. But there could be other reasons for the mailboxes not being writable and what I am really asking for is for dovecot-lda not to loose the incoming emails into thin air in these cases
