+## Mailbox locations and namespaces

+
+# Location for users' mailboxes. The default is empty, which means that Dovecot
+# tries to find the mailboxes automatically. This won't work if the user
+# doesn't yet have any mail, so you should explicitly tell Dovecot the full
+# location.
+#
+# If you're using mbox, giving a path to the INBOX file (eg. /var/mail/%u)
+# isn't enough. You'll also need to tell Dovecot where the other mailboxes are
+# kept. This is called the "root mail directory", and it must be the first
+# path given in the mail_location setting.
+#
+# There are a few special variables you can use, eg.:
+#
+#   %u - username
+#   %n - user part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain
+#   %d - domain part in user@domain, empty if there's no domain
+#   %h - home directory
+#
+# See doc/wiki/Variables.txt for full list. Some examples:
+#
+#   mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
+#   mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
+#   mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%d/%1n/%n:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%1n/%n
+#
+# <doc/wiki/MailLocation.txt>
+#
+mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
+
+# If you need to set multiple mailbox locations or want to change default
+# namespace settings, you can do it by defining namespace sections.
+#
+# You can have private, shared and public namespaces. Private namespaces
+# are for user's personal mails. Shared namespaces are for accessing other
+# users' mailboxes that have been shared. Public namespaces are for shared
+# mailboxes that are managed by sysadmin. If you create any shared or public
+# namespaces you'll typically want to enable ACL plugin also, otherwise all
+# users can access all the shared mailboxes, assuming they have permissions
+# on filesystem level to do so.

+#           will need write access to that directory.
+#  dotlock_try: Same as dotlock, but if it fails because of permissions or
+#               because there isn't enough disk space, just skip it.
+#  fcntl  : Use this if possible. Works with NFS too if lockd is used.
+#  flock  : May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
+#  lockf  : May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
+#
+# You can use multiple locking methods; if you do the order they're declared
+# in is important to avoid deadlocks if other MTAs/MUAs are using multiple
+# locking methods as well. Some operating systems don't allow using some of
+# them simultaneously.
