dovecot - Sep 2011 - Virtual Folder configuration problem.

I'm attempting to create a virtual inbox that contains all unread  
messages from the user's Maildir.

I created a conf file called 80-virtual.conf containing:

mail_plugins = $mail_plugins virtual

namespace {
   prefix = virtual/
   separator = /
   location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual
}

And created the

/home/username/Maildir/virtual/unseen/dovecot-virtual file which contains:


# ~/Maildir/virtual/unseen/dovecot-virtual
*
   unseen


However it doesn't work and the maillog file contains:

dovecot: imap(username): Error: user username: Initialization failed:  
namespace configuration error: inbox=yes namespace missing

This is with dovecot 2.0.beta6 (3156315704ef)

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Terry

Probably you forgot to follow this advise from 10-mail.conf:

# REMEMBER: If you add any namespaces, the default namespace must be added
# explicitly, ie. mail_location does nothing unless you have a namespace
# without a location setting. Default namespace is simply done by having a
# namespace with empty prefix.

Upgrade - which probably won't fix your problem, but because the version 
you're using is so old should be considered a requirement before asking 
for further help.
