我已经按照建议设置了 dovecot这里。
邮件被传递到正确的目录，并且我按照建议设置了我的 mail_location：Dovecot -n 产生如下结果：
disable_plaintext_auth = no
mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
mbox_write_locks = fcntl
passdb {
driver = pam
}
protocols = pop3
ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
/var/spool/mail 的权限为：
-rw-rw---- 1 dougw mail 20787737 May 23 20:01 dougw
以及在 spool/mail 目录本身上：
drwxrwxr-x. 3 root mail 4096 May 23 20:05 mail
我的主目录 .imap 的权限是：
drwxrwx--- 2 dougw mail 4096 May 23 20:08 .imap
但是如果我跟踪邮件日志（tail -f maillog | grep dougw）
我明白了...

如果我设置了 mail_location，它到底想在我的主目录中做什么？我遗漏了什么？
提前致谢...
