Subject
I would like some feedback concerning a use case
Description
As a continuation of the discussion in: #4018
Currently, getmail uses the directory
/tmp/docker-mailserver/getmailto store its state about the current sync status: https://getmail6.org/faq.html#faq-about-oldmailIn my opinion, this directory should be changed to
/var/mail-state/getmailor something similar. "State" data should not be stored inside the /tmp/docker-mailserver directory because this "config" directory is often included in a Git repository by users.As an additional improvement for managing getmail, I propose changing the path of the getmail configuration files
getmail-<ID>.cfto a subdirectory under /tmp/docker-mailserver/getmail, instead of storing the getmail configuration in the root of /tmp/docker-mailserver.I have many getmail configs, and they're making a mess in the /tmp/docker-mailserver folder.
