Bug Description

Fully updated Lucid as of Sept 22 2010

dovecot-common:
  Installed: 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.1

New users mailboxes aren't autodetected properly and dovecot closes connection to clients, older users aren't affected.

Sep 22 15:28:51 Shula dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<xxxxxx>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.0.1, lip=192.168.0.249, TLS
Sep 22 15:28:51 Shula dovecot: POP3(xxxxxx): mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/home/xxxxxxxx/

Setting mail_location in dovecot.conf is a temporary fix for now.

Supposedly this bug was fixed in an earlier updatte, but is still present now.
