This is how you remove the Inbox Prefix server-side when using Dovecot.
Firstly let’s create the file…
nano /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-prefix.conf
Now we need to add the following to it…
namespace inbox {
separator = .
prefix =
inbox = yes
}
Finally restart Dovecot…
service dovecot restart
And you’re done.
This is how you can create default mailboxes automatically when using Dovecot and Plesk…
nano /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mailboxes.conf
And add the following…
namespace inbox {
mailbox Drafts {
special_use = \Drafts
auto=subscribe
}
mailbox Trash {
special_use = \Trash
auto=subscribe
}
mailbox Sent {
special_use = \Sent
auto=subscribe
}
mailbox "Sent Messages" {
special_use = \Sent
}
}
Then restart Dovecot…
service dovecot restart
Now when you add an email user in Plesk these mailboxes will be created automatically for them.
This is an update to a kb article at Plesk KB6312 on How to move the Plesk Mail Directory.
I will use the example folder /var/vmail
1. Edit psa.conf
vi /etc/psa/psa.conf
Changing “PLESK_MAILNAMES_D” to the desired location…
# Location of qmail maildirs PLESK_MAILNAMES_D /var/vmail/mailnames
2. Then run the following command which will create the new folder and copy the contents of the qmail directory to the new directory…
cp -a /var/qmail /var/vmail
3. And change the maildirs in Dovecot…
vi /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-maildir.conf
Adding the following…
# Plesk Maildirs layout. mail_home = /var/vmail/mailnames/%Ld/%Ln mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/mailnames/%Ld/%Ln/Maildir
4. Run…
/opt/psa/admin/bin/mchk --with-spam
This will update the following configuration files
/etc/postfix/main.cf
/etc/postfix/master.cf
/etc/default/spamassassin
with the correct paths to your new Maildir.
5. We need to edit the spamtrain script…
vi /opt/psa/admin/sbin/spamtrain
You will see line 8…
maildir="/var/qmail/mailnames"
Simply change this to…
maildir="/var/vmail/mailnames"
6. Now create the Spamassasin Home Directory…
cd /var/vmail/popuser mkdir .spamassassin chown -R popuser:popuser .spamassassin
7. Lastly we need to update the default file in /etc/default/spamassassin to reflect our change…
