   - DMS v14 mistakenly relocated the _getmail state directory_ to the _DMS Config Volume_ as a `getmail/` subdirectory.
     - This has been corrected to `/var/lib/getmail` (_if you have mounted a DMS State Volume to `/var/mail-state`, `/var/lib/getmail` will be symlinked to `/var/mail-state/lib-getmail`_).
     - To preserve this state when upgrading to DMS v15, **you must manually migrate `getmail/` from the _DMS Config Volume_ to `lib-getmail/` in the _DMS State Volume_.**
