I asked this to the dovecot list to no avail, so will try here too. Please forgive the crosspost.
I have a client running Dovecot-Postfix on Debian Squeeze. I'm using Dovecot from the Squeeze repository.
# dovecot --version 1.2.15 I've implemented a central mail_location and am using one vmail user, as I thought this would be be the best approach for when it came time to implement Shared and Public Mailboxes.

This creates a new directory at /var/spool/dovecot/exaMPLE.com/user, which never receives any mail. Is it possible to ignore the case the user enters in their mail client and always land them at the lowercase mail directory? Where would this be done?
