dovecot - May 2007 - Namespace Problems

Hi all,

after an update from dovecot beta version to 1.0.0.-1 today morning I 
had different effects:
thunderbird-, kmail-, Apple-clients, pine  and squirrelmail could 
receive email correct with imaps. But not MSOutlook!!!
Varying the namespace configurations in dovecot.conf I got different 
results with MSOutlook working but with thunderbird, squirrelmail etc. 
all folders are displayed but not the root Inbox etc.
Its important to know that I migrated from courier-imap to dovecot.

My well working namespace config BEFORE upgrade to 1.0.0-1:

namespace private {
   #separator = /
   prefix = INBOX.
#   prefix    inbox = yes
   #hidden = yes
}
#the second namespace I need to work with Apple because they use /
namespace private {
   separator = /
   prefix = INBOX/
   inbox = no
   hidden = yes
}

Here my actual namespace configs:

namespace private {
   separator    prefix = INBOX.
   inbox = no
   hidden = no
}
namespace private {
   separator = /
   prefix = INBOX/
   inbox = no
   hidden = yes
}
namespace private {
   separator = .
   prefix = INBOX.
   inbox = yes
   hidden = yes
}

In varying inbox and hidden keywords I found this configuration. Most 
things are working with this but in squirrelmal I can't access inbox, 
the main folder.

How do I have to configure that everythings works satisfying??

dovecot.conf and dovecot-sql.conf I send in the attachment.

Many thanks

Rainer Sigl

Please!!

Do not include your entire .conf file, only dovecot -n output...

Please try again...

Try it using only one namespace which matches what you are really doing.
With 1.0 this works for me with all clients I've tried, including Apple.

namespace private {
   separator = .
   prefix = INBOX.
   inbox = yes
   hidden = no
}

instead of sending dovecot.conf, next time use dovecot -n
