My users currently have mail delivered to mulitple MailDir locations
via procmail.
~/mail/inbox/
~/mail/graph/
~/mail/spam/
I would like all these mailboxes to be exported via dovecot IMAP and
appear as folders. However, I can't anything beyond the INBOX working.
My approach is via 'namespaces'.
My config file is changed thusly:
$ sudo dovecot -n
# 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login
mail_privileged_group: mail
mail_location: maildir:~/mail/inbox
namespace:
type: private
inbox: yes
namespace:
type: private
prefix: graph
location: maildir:~/mail/graph
namespace:
type: private
prefix: spam
location: maildir:~/mail/spam
auth default:
passdb:
driver: pam
userdb:
driver: passwd
I try connecting with mutt and I can see the mails in 'inbox' just
fine. I can also see (in the mutt browser) 'graph' and 'spam'
just
fine too:
y:Exit c:Chdir m:Mask ?:Help
1 IMAP INBOX
2 IMAP graph.
3 IMAP spam.
However, selecting 'graph' I see:
y:Exit c:Chdir m:Mask ?:Help
1 IMAP ../
...I would have expected it to open the 'graph' MailDir mailbox and
display the mail.
I try connecting directly using 'mutt -f imaps://user at computer/graph'
and I see 'Invalid mailbox name'.
telnet-ing in:
$ nc localhost 143
* OK Dovecot ready.
a1 login user password
a1 OK Logged in.
c1 list "" *
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "graph"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "spam"
c1 OK List completed.
a100 logout
* BYE Logging out
a100 OK Logout completed.
The logs only show:
Oct 13 10:44:44 machine dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user>,
method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.1.1, lip=127.0.1.1, TLS
Oct 13 10:44:46 machine dovecot: IMAP(user): Disconnected: Logged out
Any ideas where I am going wrong? Outlook Express also lists the
'graph' and 'spam' folder but won't show their contents.

With v1.1 you'd be able to do: mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs> namespace: > type: private > prefix: graph > location: maildir:~/mail/graph > namespace: > type: private > prefix: spam > location: maildir:~/mail/spamThese are pretty kludgy, but you could do: namespace { prefix = spam. location = maildir:~/mail/spam } And that would show up as spam.INBOX I think. Or maybe not. Namespaces weren't really meant for this kind of use. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
