dovecot - Apr 2005 - Delimiter of mailbox changes in response to STATUS command...

Hi -

I've been using Hastymail with my Dovecot server for awhile now.  
However, I have noticed that at some point Hastymail stopped showing the 
number of unseen messages in its folder drop down list, it just shows 0 
for the folders that I have it checking for unseen messages.  I'm not 
sure when it broke, but I think it's when I went to one of the testing 
builds several months ago.  I just upgraded to Hastymail 1.3 and Dovecot 
testing66 today just to see if the issue would go away and it hasn't.  
So I did some digging and I think I found the cause of the issue... If I 
send a STATUS command, like the one shown below, Dovecot changes the 
mailbox delimiter in the result from a "/" to a "."...

2 STATUS "Misc/Spam" (UNSEEN)
* STATUS "Misc.Spam" (UNSEEN 3)
2 OK Status completed.

I was able to work around this in Hastymail by substituting a "/" for
a
"." when the result comes back, but it's not that elegant.  Any
thoughts
on why this might be happening in Dovecot? Is it a configuration issue 
on my part, or a bug?  The private namespace in my dovecot.conf has the 
following:

separator = /

Thanks,
Lawrence

Hi Chris -

Thank you for the reply.

The LIST command returns what I expect to see (for readability):

2 list "Misc/" "*"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Misc/Spam"
> Can you 1 SELECT "Misc/Spam" OK?
I can select that mailbox as well as others without a problem. 

Here's what NAMESPACE returns:

3 NAMESPACE
* NAMESPACE (("" "/")) NIL NIL

My namespace definition in dovecot.conf is as follows:

namespace private {
   separator = /
#   prefix #   location    inbox = yes
#   hidden = yes
}

I didn't have default_mail_env set to anything, but I just tried the 
following without a change in the STATUS command's behavior:

default_mail_env = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir

Is there any other information that might help?

Thanks,
Lawrence
