Dovecot 2.4 - Issue with mail_location after Upgrade

[Andreas Günther]

Hi Klaus,

your suggest runs an my file looks like:

mail_driver = maildir 
mail_home = /var/vmail/%d/%n 
mail_inbox_path = . 
mail_path = ~/Maildir 
namespace inbox { 
 type = private 
 prefix =  
 inbox = yes 
  
 separator = / 
} 
mail_privileged_group = mail 
mail_plugins = quota quota_clone acl fts fts_solr 
mail_plugins { 
 plugin = yes 
} 
protocol !indexer-worker { 
}

Thanks for this. But I'm still curious why it worked via dovecot.conf, but not 
via the included file 10-mail.conf.

Greetings

Andreas
