Hello, have a little problem with folders with name INBOX created by Users. Some Clients use a Prefix for their Folders. In our old setup (dovecot 1.2) it was possible to create a Folder INBOX in mbox-space with some Subfolders. These Subfolders of INBOX showed up in Mailclient at toplevel. Now we updatet to 2.1.7. In higher dovecot versions INBOX seems to be a kind of protected foldername. dovecot is not offering this folder in folderlist. If i rename it, the folder is available again. There are only a few users, so i could fix this manually. But how to explain this? I did not find a setting etc. which could explain this behaviour. Our Config is pretty standard: mail_location is unchanged some dovecot versions we use: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u most of conf is out of the box and also used in older versions. only new is namespace inbox, but should also be default: namespace inbox { inbox = yes } Is there an explaination for this behaviour? Thanks, Hajo

The interpretation of all other names is implementation-dependent. IIRC, several changes have been brought to Dovecot's code wrt the handling of that "inbox" name. HTH, Axel
