Public bug reported:

Upgrading a working dovecot from karmic to lucid.

Cannot log anymore to Imap with error :


May 17 15:10:27 localhost dovecot: dovecot: Relative home directory paths not supported (user ploum at ploum.net): maildir:/home/mail/ploum at ploum.net


It appears to be an error introduced on purpose (!) : 
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/dd49cf3fd2c9


Problems :

1) previously working configuration is not broken

2) no idea what means "relative home directory path" in this context

3) no idea on how to solve the problem
