[Bug 581718] Re: dovecot upgrade purposely breaks working configuration

[Ante Karamatić]

1) it was working by pure luck; it was never suposed to work
2) actually, there is; look at comment #6
3) for a reason - security
4) ??

It's not ignoring the issue. It's just that you are using 'mailbox'
path, which starts with 'maildir:' as a home variable. That's just
wrong, weather dovecot works or not. Your home isn't
'maildir:/home/user'. It's '/home/user'.

If you think that is wrong and that 'home' should be
'maildir:/home/user', bring this to upstream cause Ubuntu will not
diverge on this one. It's just pointless. MDS doesn't set 'home'
attribute wrong. Look at it in your LDAP - I'm sure it's just
'/home/something'. Problem is that you linked 'mailbox' LDAP attribute
with 'home' variable in dovecot in dovecot-ldap.conf.
