This is called the "root mail directory", and it must be the first# path given in the mail_location setting.## There are a few special variables you can use, eg.:##   %u - username#   %n - user part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain#   %d - domain part in user@domain, empty if there's no domain#   %h - home directory## See doc/wiki/Variables.txt for full list.

POP3 and LDA currently ignore# namespaces completely, they use only the mail_location setting.## You can have private, shared and public namespaces. The only difference# between them is how Dovecot announces them to client via NAMESPACE# extension. Shared namespaces are meant for user-owned mailboxes which are# shared to other users, while public namespaces are for more globally# accessible mailboxes.## REMEMBER: If you add any namespaces, the default namespace must be added# explicitly, ie. mail_location does nothing unless you have a namespace# without a location setting. Default namespace is simply done by having a# namespace with empty prefix.#namespace private {   # Hierarchy separator to use. You should use the same separator for all   # namespaces or some clients get confused.

This needs to be different for   # all namespaces. For example "Public/".   #prefix =    # Physical location of the mailbox. This is in same format as   # mail_location, which is also the default for it.   #location =   # There can be only one INBOX, and this setting defines which namespace   # has it.   #inbox = no   # If namespace is hidden, it's not advertised to clients via NAMESPACE   # extension. You'll most likely also want to set list=no. This is mostly   # useful when converting from another server with different namespaces which   # you want to deprecate but still keep working.

Works with NFS too if lockd is used.#  flock  : May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.#  lockf  : May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.## You can use multiple locking methods; if you do the order they're declared# in is important to avoid deadlocks if other MTAs/MUAs are using multiple# locking methods as well.

When a mailbox is deleted, the mailbox is moved to another namespace  # (2nd) as well. Also if the deleted mailbox had any expunged messages,  # they're moved to a 3rd namespace. The mails won't be counted in quota,  # and they're not deleted automatically (use a cronjob or something).  #lazy_expunge = .EXPUNGED/ .DELETED/ .DELETED/.EXPUNGED/  # Events to log. Default is all.  #mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename  # Group events within a transaction to one line.  #mail_log_group_events =   # Available fields: uid, box, msgid, size, vsize  # size and vsize are available only for expunge and copy events.  #mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size}
