dovecot - Jan 2009 - dovecot 1.2 virtual folders question

Hi Timo

is this possible a possible setup ?
for downloading imap folders ( including inbox )
with pop3 controlled by a a dovecot-virtual file
in usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/
with content something like that

*
-Trash
-Trash/*
-Sent
-Sent/*
-Drafts
-Drafts/*
  all



namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = ""
location=maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/:CONTROL=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/:INDEX=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/
inbox = yes
subscriptions = yes
list = yes
}

namespace private {
  prefix = virtual/
  separator = /
  location = virtual:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u:LAYOUT=maildir++
inbox = no
}

it doesnt work yet, but i am nearly sure that i havent
understand
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual

perhaps you might bring me on the way

background :
i want to include a global sieve rule which sorts marked spam mails in a
subfolder of inbox called Junk, so that users never can overide it and
set perhaps an autoreply by an Sieve rule by incomming mail to inbox

to make it possible that pop3 users may fetch sorted Spam mails outta
the Junk folder too, i wanna use virtual setup folders

Trash , Sent , Drafts are standart folders
are standart and should be ignored with that

Place that in to e.g.: /etc/dovecot/virtual/INBOX

For pop3 to use virtual mailbox you must use something like:

namespace private {
   prefix = virtual/
   separator = /
   location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual
   subscriptions = no
}
> namespace private {
> separator = /
> prefix = ""

> virtual/%d/%u/:INDEX=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/
> inbox = yes
> subscriptions = yes
> list = yes
list = no here.

Then depending on if user is logging in with imap or pop3, set  
inbox=yes to one of those namespaces. What userdb are you using?  
You'll anyway need to return something like namespace_0_inbox=yes or .. 
1.._inbox=yes
