I got a problem with dovecot, I have an external disk with all the emails in the Maildir format, I mounted this disk in Linux and for each user, I created a symbolic link (with ln -s) and then i started Dovecot with roundcube, when i go to see Dovecot log it says that he doesent support relative home directory paths. I tried to copy the folder without making a link, but nothing changed. Can please someone help. Thanks

  • Do the links use relative paths? What if you used absolute paths?

  • I cant use an absolute path because they can point only at a file, not at a directory, so I can't use them

  • I don't understand. Directory is also a file. Did you mean "regular file"? By definition absolute path starts with / and relative path doesn't. One kind or the other can point to any type of file or even to a nonexistent path.

  • Now I suspect maybe you thought about hardlinks.

  • Yes maybe is like you say, how can I create an absolute path, just for check if I did it right.
