Hi Zang,

Making sending e-mail tests for gondim+test@domain.net I realized that dovecot is creating mailboxes "test" instead of putting these emails to INBOX.
When I open my thunderbird not get the message because it was stored on the server in a mailbox called "test".

I could suffer an attack with sending several emails so:

gondim+adfdfsafg@domain.net
gondim+gafsgaftf@domain.net
gondim+qeqeeqeqeqe@domain.net

This would create several directories on my email server and I only see when using roundcube.

I would suggest the following default configuration /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:

protocol lda {
.
.
    lda_mailbox_autocreate = no
.
.
}

protocol lmtp {
.
.
    lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = no
    recipient_delimiter = +
}

Just curious, does this setting (enabled) bring you some trouble?

I enable this for purpose. If you disable it, you have to create filters to move those emails to different imap folders.

Hi Zhang,

I do not use much webmail. I mostly use the Thunderbird (pop3s) and when someone send me messages to gondim+anything@domain can not receive them in Thunderbird.

When this happens I am unaware that I received a message because it is stored in a directory on the server and it is not downloaded by pop3.

I would like to congratulate you for the excellent work that is iredMail.

That's the disadvantage of POP3 - it checks INBOX only. if you use IMAP, it should be fine because Thunderbird will check new IMAP folders and sync them.
