Hi guys i understand that you can't subscribe to the Prefix names of
namespace folders right now with dovecot.
But for instance if i user outlook express and it can't see the prefix
name then it can't see the subfolders of that "prefix folder"
either.
So even though it can detect and see the subfolders it won't display
them cause it can't see the "parent"
Is there any fix for this? it's also kind of annoying in thunderbird but
at least you can still see the subfolders.
TIA
James

Changed in v1.1: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot/rev/0511e301acbc There's no simple fix for v1.0 though. I am glad to see a patch. For 1.0, I was concerned with the same thing, and it turns out that the way our helpdesk was setting up Outlook Express was the same as the workaround I was going to suggest: Setup a seperate Account/profile in OE, set the mail folder prefix to your namespace prefix, then that seperate account will have an Inbox plus all of the folders in that prefix will be available for subscription and stay there. Also, as an alternative (not a very good one) I think you can see the folders in the subscribe window and double click to see them, then OE shows the whole tree for just that session until logout.

I tried this, with b6 and b7 which seem to have the patch, it doesn't seem to work? sr6v SUBSCRIBE "#shared" sr6v NO [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn't exist: #shared same for #shared/decs. All of my public folders are under #shared/[namespace]/.
