Bug Description
Logins fail for new users (autodetection is always failing):
Jan 26 21:20:22 sec-lucid-amd64 dovecot: IMAP(tardvrnm): mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/home/tardvrnm
Jan 26 21:20:22 sec-lucid-amd64 dovecot: IMAP(tardvrnm): Fatal: Namespace initialization failed
The only way around this is to hard-code "mail_location" in the dovecot config which limits users from choosing mbox or Maildir. This is a regression from karmic, identified by:
