'Mailbox unknown' unpon LMTP delivery

[Mark Keasling]

Hi,

It seems odd that lmtpd would be looking for user^username...

What is the unixhierarchysep setting in your imapd.conf file?
A setting of "yes" means '/' is the hierarchy separator rather than '.'.

When the separator has been set to '/', dot '.' characters in mailbox
names are mapped to caret '^' and user mailbox must be created as
user/username.
