Hi, I'm using dovecot to serve up a Maildir created/served by offlineimap. The layout is typical (as far as I know) of maildirs, with the root folder having cur, tmp, new, and subfolders being a folder within the root folder. Since I'd previously used Evolution to access this maildir, my subfolders were actual subfolders (separator /). Anyway, it all works spiffingly well, except that I can't see my inbox at all. What happens is that attempting to subscribe to Inbox will create an INBOX folder in the root folder, which is (of course) empty, so I see an empty folder. For completeness, my dovecot -n... # 1.1.17: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.30-ARCH x86_64 ext3 protocols: imap listen: localhost ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_location: maildir:/home/data/Profiles/OfflineIMAP/root:LAYOUT=fs auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd Thanks for the help.
