dovecot - Jun 2016 - special-use for virtual folder

Hi,

I'm running two different Dovecot servers (actually more but those are
pretty similar and same versions 2.2.24).

Today I configured a virtual All folder on both:

namespace {
  location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual
  prefix = virtual.
  separator = .
}

  mailbox virtual.All {
    special_use = \All
  }

On this system the special-use flag is not applied to the folder (checked
via LIST "" "*").

On the other system:
namespace {
  location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual
  prefix = virtual/
  separator = /
}
  mailbox virtual/All {
    special_use = \All
  }

On the second system I can see
* LIST (\HasNoChildren \All) "/" virtual/All

Besides the separator I don't see a big difference between both
configurations.

Any idea?


Thanks,
 Wolfgang

with some help I was able to workaround this by just moving the mailbox
declaration directly into the namespace section and leaving out the prefix.
I still think this is some kind of bug that it works in one case but not
the other but I can  live with the current behaviour.
