 A more important setting is::

 which will tell that the users' mailboxes are always found at

+    Previous versions of this tutorial recommended to use ``mail_location =
+    maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n`` instead (without the trailing ``Maildir``

+    confused with mail folders. Otherwise it may happen that your users
+    see e.g. filter control files as mail folders. So if you have an existing
+    directory structure you have to create a ``Maildir`` folder right there
+    and move all mail folders (cur, new, tmp and all folders starting with
+    a dot) there.
