[Dovecot] LIST % not returning correct data?
Hi list,
I have
namespace private {
prefix = INBOX.
separator = .
inbox = yes
}
in an installation migrated from courier. I am testing with Outlook
Mobile 5 (OM) which uses 'LIST "" %' to get the folder list.
Now
courier used to return
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX"
whereas dovecot returns
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX"
which is why OM failes to display any folder. Is this dovecot's failure
or am I missing something here?
Thanks,
J?rg

Maybe experiment with that? Try just 'INBOX' without the period? -- Best regards, Charles

Fixed, sort of: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.0/rev/f92ea3eed616 I think I'll do yet another LIST rewrite for v1.1. It's unbelievably hard to get the logic right when you support multiple configurable namespaces.. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Looks like Dovecot rdoes "HasNoChildren" for some reason, whereas Courier does "HasChildren". Thanks, Phillip
