Hi, I have tried multiple dovecot versions (0.99 and CVS) and I keep getting the same problem. I connect to the IMAP server fine using outlook xp, but when I try to create folders it creates them and then they just disappear. In the Maildir on the IMAP server the folder are there but they don't show up using a client. I basically can't do anything with folders, including copying outlook folders to the server or create/delete folders. And when I move mail to specific folders using procmail it just gets put back into the inbox again... I'm using freebsd 4.7-RELEASE My config file only adds the following lines... auth = plain auth_methods = plain auth_userinfo = password-file /etc/passwd.imap auth_user = root My password file (/etc/passwd.imp) only consists of kev:XXXXXchangedXX[13]:1001:1001::/home/kev:::: I've just created a folder /home/kev/Maildir where dovecot created the MailDir hierarchies. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Kev

Also make sure you haven't set anything to root folder path.> And when I move mail to specific > folders using procmail it just gets put back into the inbox again...This sounds more strange. Dovecot at least doesn't move mails by itself. Is it Outlook moving them back?
Hi, I've tried other outlook installs and setting. When I try to copy a folder to the imap account I get... "Can't move the items. The move operation could not be completed. It is possible that the destination server is unavailable or does not support subfolders." And when I try to copy mail to the imap folder (with subscribed folders) I get: "Can't move items. This IMAP command could not be sent to the server before the connection was terminated" I get some corresponding errors in dovecots logs: " imap-master: Feb 18 18:31:41 Error: child 60038 (imap) killed with signal 6 imap((null)): Feb 18 18:33:49 Panic: file cmd-append.c: line 25 (validate_args): assertion failed: ((unsigned int) ret == count) imap-master: Feb 18 18:33:49 Error: child 60042 (imap) killed with signal 6 " related?> On Tue, 2003-02-18 at 18:56, Kevin Lee wrote: > > Hi, > > I have tried multiple dovecot versions (0.99 and CVS) and I keep > > getting the same problem. > > > > I connect to the IMAP server fine using outlook xp, but when I try tocreate> > folders it creates them and then they just disappear.
