I have been struggling with getting my Fedora 7 box set up to use
dovecot with Squirrelmail and Maildir. It works correctly with the exception of
writing outgoing mail to the right folder (.Sent) or drafts (.Drafts). If I send
a mail with Mutt, it writes the mail to the right place, so it has to be
squirrelmail config or dovecot config. I want to use .Sent for sent-mail
(~user/Maildir/.Sent) and .Drafts for drafts (~user/Maildir/.Drafts).
Here is what I see in /etc/squirrelmail/config.php
$optional_delimiter = '.';
[snip]
$default_folder_prefix = '';
$trash_folder = 'Trash';
$sent_folder = 'Sent';
$draft_folder = 'Drafts';
$default_move_to_trash = true;
$default_move_to_sent = true;
$default_save_as_draft = true;
The error in the browser is:
*
ERROR : Bad or malformed request.*
Server responded: {830} BAD Error in IMAP command : Unknown command.
and in the logs I see this:

As you can surmise from the logs, the mail does get sent.
Anybody see my mistake?

Instead I switched it back to Courier mode (we migrated from Courier) and it works like a champ - you just need to adjust your $default_folder_prefix if you don't actually run Dovecot in Courier-like mode (namespace), I do believe. Here are what I believe to be the bits out of my config.php that matter: $imapServerAddress = '127.0.0.1'; $imapPort = 143; $imap_server_type = 'courier'; $invert_time = false; $optional_delimiter = '.'; $default_folder_prefix = 'INBOX.'; $trash_folder = 'Trash'; $sent_folder = 'Sent'; $draft_folder = 'Drafts'; $default_move_to_trash = true; $default_move_to_sent = true; $default_save_as_draft = true; $show_prefix_option = false; $auto_expunge = true; $default_sub_of_inbox = false; $show_contain_subfolders_option = false; $auto_create_special = true; $delete_folder = true; $noselect_fix_enable = false; $allow_thread_sort = true; $allow_server_sort = true; $allow_charset_search = true; $uid_support = true; $no_list_for_subscribe = false; $imap_auth_mech = 'login'; $use_imap_tls = false; The matching namespace in dovecot.conf that goes along with this is: # Courier-IMAP friendly namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } Hope this helps some, -te -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com

I had migrated my old squirrelmail config over to the box and then forgot it was there. I later installed the rpm version. I confused the system (and myself) in the process. Once I took away the old stuff, I was able to appropriately configure squirrelmail. Thanks for the help. Vic
