Hello list,
I have a namespace called 'projects' which when clicked in Thunderbird
(nonexistent in eM Client) yields the following error:
"The current operation on 'projects' did not succeed. The mail
server
for account
user at domain.tld responded: mailbox doesn't exist: projects.projects
(0.00 + 0.00 secs)."
The namespace is configure as follows:
# Shared namespace 'projects'
namespace {
location = maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.tld/shared/projects
prefix = projects.
separator = .
type = public
}
This is the log:

This did not happen with other versions of dovecot (I think) but just
started happening with the upgrade. While it is not
a serious problem and I can live with it, what would be causing it in
the new dovecot iteration (2.2.23) ? And, could it be
that I'm missing the necessary setting to mitigate this? Please let me
know if any additional information is necessary.
I'm thinking that the problem lies in lines 6/7 and 8/9 where Dovecot is
looking for mdbox/sdbox.

I tried that and am sad to say it did not work. Hmmm...
