Hello,

In this file:

/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf

Try setting:

mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u

That should be all that's needed for dovecot to see the mail in /var/spool/mail

Hello,

Thank you popowich,

Issue has been fixed. there are some errors like :

Apr 21 05:34:23 server dovecot: imap(promotions): Error: mkdir(/home/promotions/mail/.imap/INBOX) failed: Operation not permitted

Apr 21 05:44:24 server dovecot: imap(promotions): Error: chown(/home/promotions/mail/.imap/INBOX

I have just made changes :

[root@server .imap]# mdkir INBOX
[root@server .imap]# chown promotions.promotions INBOX/
[root@server .imap]# cd INBOX/

and the issue has been fixed.
Thank you very much

Hello,
I actually triedwhat you have mentioned above and it works, thanks! but I have more than 200 users and 20 groups, It will be very difficult for me to create INBOX for each and everyone. Please suggest if I can solve this by any other way!

Hi @Koodli

It should be easy to create the INBOX and permissions with a simple shell script.

Do you know how to make a script with bash or perl?

If not, this is an excellent task to start learning how to program loops against a text file full of data such as usernames and reading the rest of the needed info from /etc/passwd
