dovecot - Nov 2009 - shared mailboxes using namespaces in 1.2

Hi!

I've been using shared mailbox trees using maildir, unix permissions and
separate namespaces per shared tree since dovecot 1.0.

However now that I've upgraded to 1.2.8, I cannot create subfolders
anymore. The server responds with "NO Invalid mailbox name:
test/testsub". The hierarchy separator for the namespaces is / because I
am mixing maildir and mbox namespaces and list=yes.

The details:
I am using a post-login script (attached) that detects all subfolders of
/var/spool/mail/Shared for which the current user has at least read
access. For every subfolder, it creates a separate namespace with the
prefix Shared/<mailboxname>. The shared mailbox trees are in maildir
format.

If one of those namespace-prefixes is e.g. "Shared/sharedmailbox/", I
am
able to create "Shared/sharedmailbox/test" but trying to create
"Shared/sharedmailbox/test/testsub" will fail with the above error. If
I
set the herarchy separator to '.' even creating
"Shared/sharedmailbox/test" will fail.

Any hints?

Thanks,
--leo

Are you setting the hierarchy separator in environment for the other
created namespaces? It sounds like you aren't. Looking at logs with
mail_debug=yes would verify.

Yes, I am. I am using 
      $ENV{"NAMESPACE_${nr}_SEP"}= "/";
... in the post-login script.

The debug log says:

Trying to create Shared/spamrep/test/testsub fails for example...
