Hi,
I'm trying to set Dovecot up in a way that is compatible with console
usage of the same mailboxes (ie, w/o IMAP). My mailboxen are almost all
maildirs (I can ignore all other formats), and are laid out as follows:
INBOX = ~/Maildir
All other folders are maildirs in ~/Mail
Eg. ~/Mail/archive, ~/Mail/sent, ~/Mail/some-mailing-list
I configured this, along the lines of http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces:
# I unset 'mail_location'
namespace private {
separator = '/'
prefix location = maildir:~/Maildir
inbox = yes
list = yes
subscriptions = yes
}
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = archives/
location = maildir:~/Mail
hidden = no
#subscriptions = yes
inbox = no
list = yes
}
which I thought should do it, but it doesn't. In TB (3, if it matters), I
see:
Inbox
Trash
archives
Trash
Inbox (shaded)
directory (shaded)
And that's about it. I don't see any of the pre-existing maildirs in
~/Mail. I also can't delete the two additional "Inbox" and
"Trash"
folders, and I can't subscribe to the second "Inbox", nor to
"directory". I proceeded to create a new folder under
"archives", which
mostly ended up to be a new maildir + index files under ~/Mail, but it
had a '.' in front of it. Also, the separator was automatically reset to
'.' for the second namespace, as I found out when I renamed one of the
directories from 'dir.1' to '.dir.1'.
Am I still doing something wrong, or is this a bug or limitation in
Dovecot, or in this version of it?
Kind regards,
