Hi all, I'm new to Dovecot, but so far I've been really impressed with what I've seen. I hope someone can help with the following question. We're migrating from a setup where some of our users use mbox with UW imap. The problem is we've never enforced a folder prefix, so some have their folders in ~/, others in ~/mail and others in ~/Mail. We've also got some users using maildir with Courier imap. I decided the easiest way to get this working transparently for the users was to use the post-login scripting approach. My script manages to locate the user's mail and sets MAIL accordingly. This all works a treat. The problem is when a user specifies their own prefix in their mail client (if it's blank there are no problems). If they have ~/Mail none of the folders show up. I've had a play with namespaces in an attempt to fix that, but it doesn't seem to be doing what I want. So my question is: is it possible for Dovecot to simply ignore the folder prefix given by the client? Thanks, Tim. -- Tim Bishop http://www.bishnet.net/tim/ PGP Key: 0x5AE7D984
