Hi, If I delete a folder "foo" in Thunderbird, it is moved to trash.

Hi! I've been using shared mailbox trees using maildir, unix permissions and separate namespaces per shared tree since dovecot 1.0. However now that I've upgraded to 1.2.8, I cannot create subfolders anymore. The server responds with "NO Invalid mailbox name: test/testsub". The hierarchy separator for the namespaces is / because I am mixing maildir and mbox namespaces and

Hello! I've got dovecot running with postfix. Have virtual users under vmail folder. When I connect with outlook, I can read, delete messages. When I sign on with webmail, also can delete messages, Mutt is working as well on the mail server, can delete messages. Once the message is deleted it moves to the trash. Works as it supposed to. But on Iphone, when I add a mail user, got the

Hello, I am new to this list, so feel free to correct me if I do something wrong. I don't have a problem, just a question. The RFC which covers IMAP ACLs [1] states that one of the standard rights is: l - lookup (mailbox is visible to LIST/LSUB commands, SUBSCRIBE mailbox) If I have a shared or public namespace and have a mailbox for which I do not have lookup rights, Dovecot

Hello Everything is in the subject ... If not which MUA does it ? Infos welcome Thanks

Hi! I'd like to provide shared mailboxes with maildir that should appear like 'Shared/<mailboxname>' to the clients. Using the namespace configuration below, everything works fine, exept one thing: Mail clients (only tested with Thunderbird) won't allow to put mails directly in 'Shared/mailboxname' (the folder it is greyed out). You currently have to create

Hello again, I'd like to know if there is a way to have subfolders in virtual mailbox? In my virtual namespaces, I have some virtual maiboxes named like this : Mailbox Mailbox.SubMailbox (the separator is '.') But when I try to access the submailbox, depending on my client, it either : - Tells me the mailbox doesn't exists (Roundcube) - Don't show me

Hi, I am trying to optimize an imap library and I am comparing with some existing webmail, for instance from roundcube I can log the imap commands with the following format : [11-Jan-2012 14:22:55 +0100]: [DBD1] S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Dovecot ready.

Hello Actually we use MBOX format for all our IMAP access but users complain they cannot create subfolders in imap folders, of course they cannot because of MBOX format ... I need gurus advices on changing mailbox format Maildir of Dbox ? What would be the safest way to go ? Note : we extensively use Thunderbird here. Thanks

Hi! Has someone encountered the following problem? What am I doing wrong or does someone know a workaround? Dovecot 1.2.1 on Debian unstable, two namespaces: namespace private { prefix = location = maildir:~/res/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs inbox = yes list = yes } namespace private { prefix = gtd/ separator = / list = yes location =

Hi all, I have a postfix+procmail+dovecot installation, now running basicaly on pop3 hence mailbox format, with few thousand users and less than twenty gigabytes mail. I need to move all of them to maildir, to take advantage of IMAP subfolders that do not work with mbox format (so I'm told :). Of course I cannot safely stop the service for more than a bunch of seconds... What I'm about

Hi, I'm having a problem I can't get my head around. I'm trying to setup a public mailbox that is hidden from all users unless granted access through an ACL. My folder structure is (migrated from a Courier IMAP/Qmail server): /var/spool/maildir - main public folder (contains a few .qmail files to redirect mail to the correct subfolder) /var/spool/maildir/Support - support public

I don't know if this is an Evolution bug or not, but when I use the maildir format with Dovecot 0.99.10p2 (from OpenBSD packages collection) and connect to it from Evolution 1.4 using IMAP, Evolution displays subfolders incorrectly. It actually does not show any subfolders, only root folders with names like "Folder.Subfolder" and "Folder.Subfolder.Subsubfolder".

Hi, I would like to know if it's possible to configure dovecot so that it use mbox file format for the INBOX mailbox but Maildir format for all the subfolders. My problem is I would like an IMAP server which allow to easily create folders and subfolders of folders, but at the same time I don't want to break all MUA which rely on /var/mail/johndoe in mbox format. Thanks in advance.

Hallo, I try to migrate existing imap server to dovecot 1.2 in debian squeeze if I connect to imap://user at host/INBOX Inbox works as expected and I get the content of Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.subfolder already exists if I connect to imap://user at host/INBOX.subfolder I get "folder not found" if I do a imap directory listing (raw mutt config, no subscriptions)

Hi again, I just recognized a problem concerning subfolders after converting from maildir to mdbox. Thunderbird and SeaMonkey don?t show folders that are subfolders of subfolders. Have a look at the filesystem: discovery:/var/mail/domain.tld/patrick/mdbox/mailboxes/Folder1/Folder2# ls -l insgesamt 8 drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 5. Sep 23:42 dbox-Mails drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 5. Sep

Hello, We have installed a brand new Dovecot because it seems very interesting as an IMAP server. We created a mailbox for a test user and we succeeded in copying some mails into it. However making subfolders does not work. The only folders we can create are in the root, next to the INBOX that is. We thought Maildir does support subfolders (as opposed to mbox), are we wrong here? Our Dovecot

Hello. In our dovecvot we use mbox format with the default filesystem layout. Therefore it is not possible to have mailboxes which are subfolders of other mailboxes containing messages. The command "doveadm mailbox list" includes the file system directories, that contain only subfolders, as normal mailboxes in the output: archiv archiv/daemon archiv/dovecot Did I miss something

# dovecot --version 1.2.15 We're trying to migrate a server from Cyrus to Dovecot, and we're mostly there. On Cyrus, the folder layout in the MUA is: INBOX subfolder subfolder ... Sent Drafts Queue Trash Users cannot create sibling folders to the Inbox, only subfolders (and sub-subfolders, etc). We've replicated that with:

Mail has always been the bane of my sys-admin life. I've been looking long and hard for a small, C-based, simple IMAP server that worked well with maildirs *and* mboxes and nothing else. wu-imap is so bloated and rife with decrepit, cross-platform, insecure code that I avoid it for any new servers. Courier-imap only supports maildirs but has some wierdnesses that I've come to live with.
