Hi, I have noticed that imap.index.data are often too large files (several MiBs). Is there a way to limit their size or to shrink dimension or to assign another directory where those file are stored? thank you will

By leaving this empty # dovecot tries to do some automatic detection as described in # doc/mail-storages.txt. There's a few special variables you can use: # # %u - username # %n - user part in user at domain, same as %u if there's no domain # %d - domain part in user at domain, empty if user there's no domain # %h - home directory # # You can also limit a width of string by giving the number of max. characters # after the '%' character. For example %1u gives the first character of # username. Some examples: # # maildir:/var/mail/%1u/%u/Maildir # mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u # mbox:/var/mail/%d/%n/:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%n # -- Sven

However in next version they will be somewhat smaller. Currently it contains all kind of data that client may not be interested in, next version stores only what clients actually use.> or to assign > another directory where those file are stored?Sven answered this. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
