Dovecot maildirsize memorial park

A very specific combination of words!

It seems like you're asking about configuring Dovecot, a popular IMAP and POP3 server, to store email messages in Maildir format, specifically in a directory named "Memorial Park".

Here's a brief overview of how you can achieve this:

Maildir format

Maildir is a popular email storage format that stores emails in a hierarchical directory structure. Each email is stored in a separate file, and the directory structure is designed to allow for efficient storage and retrieval of emails.

Dovecot configuration

To configure Dovecot to store emails in Maildir format in a directory named "Memorial Park", you'll need to modify the Dovecot configuration file, usually located at /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf (or dovecot2.conf on some systems).

Here's an example configuration snippet that you can use as a starting point:

mail_location = maildir:~/Memorial Park

This configuration tells Dovecot to store emails in the ~/Memorial Park directory, using the Maildir format.

Additional configuration options

You may also want to consider setting the following configuration options to customize your Dovecot setup:

• mail_privileged_group: specifies the group that owns the email files (e.g., mail or vmail)
• mail_uid: specifies the user ID that owns the email files (e.g., vmail or mail)
• mail_gid: specifies the group ID that owns the email files (e.g., mail or vmail)
• first_valid_uid: specifies the first valid user ID that can access the email files (e.g., 1000 for a typical user account)

Here's an updated configuration snippet that includes these additional options:

mail_location = maildir:~/Memorial Park
mail_privileged_group = mail
mail_uid = vmail
mail_gid = mail
first_valid_uid = 1000

Restart Dovecot

After modifying the Dovecot configuration file, you'll need to restart the Dovecot service to apply the changes. The exact command to restart Dovecot will depend on your system and distribution:

sudo service dovecot restart

or

sudo systemctl restart dovecot

That's it! With these configuration settings, Dovecot should now store emails in the ~/Memorial Park directory using the Maildir format.
