(apologies if this has been covered, can't find it on the Wiki/FAQ, etc.)
We have a stellar, fantastic, hard working Dovecot 1.0.5 (yes, I need to
upgrade) installation running in Courier-IMAP compatibility mode:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecot/indexes/%1u/%u
namespace private {
separator = .
prefix = INBOX.
inbox = yes
}
A user purchased a Windows Mobile 6 device which is ignoring the
namespace (it's the device's bug for sure, other people report it on
forums around the 'net) and there's no way on this device to manually
set the Prefix; so, his Sent mails are never making it back to the
server when replying from the device because of the missing INBOX. issue.
Can I add a second hidden namespace with no prefix:
namespace private {
separator = .
prefix hidden = yes
}
...to fix his problem, but without adversely affecting anyone else? The
issue that has given me pause is this comment in the config file:
"Default namespace is simply done by having a namespace with empty
prefix."
..but then there's also:
"If namespace is hidden, it's not advertised to clients via
NAMESPACE
extension or shown in LIST replies."
I'm not sure what exactly will happen by adding a hidden namespace with
no prefix after an advertised namespace with a prefix; this is a live
server, so mucking up the works with a bad config is not an option. :)
Anyone have a clue if this is valid/good/correct and Dovecot will play
nicely?
Many thanks,
