I may have found a problem with the documentation concerning the subscriptions file. On the Dovecot web site there is a document that outlines the conversion from UW IMAP to Dovecot. The document says Dovecot's folder list is stored in ".subscriptions" However, I have found that Dovecot's folder list is really "subscriptions" without the preceding dot. Did Dovecot version 1.0.alpha1 remove the dot from the subscriptions filename? .subscriptions does not seem to work at all. http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/Migration#head-5dde807bf059dea93fc2303e202b6a19029915c6

The file is the same format as UW uses (assuming you're using mbox store), so you ought to simply be able to rename or hard link the file and have it work properly. I can't find where this change is documented, though I know I ran across discussion about this a few weeks ago on the list. Sorry to not be more helpful.

Are you also trying to do conversion to maildir? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
