Dear all,
I have set up a series of special-use mailboxes in the default namespace
differing by capitalisation of the names, mainly to capture multiple
mailboxes
with autoexpunge
namespace inbox {
...
mailbox Trash {
auto = no
autoexpunge = 30d
special_use = \Trash
}
mailbox trash {
auto = no
autoexpunge = 30d
special_use = \Trash
}
...
}
However, doveconf -n reports only one mailbox, namely the second (lowercase
t)
and autoexpunge does not trigger for the first one (capital T). Removing
the special
use flag has no influence.
namespace inbox {
inbox = yes
list = children
location ...
mailbox trash {
auto = subscribe
special_use = \Trash
}
...
prefix = INBOX.
separator = .
subscriptions = yes
type = private
}
Is this the intended behaviour? The example 15-mailboxes.conf seems to
indicate
otherwise and I would prefer the ability to set autoexpunge for both Trash
and trash.
(dovecot 2.2.26 built from source on Debian 8.0)
Best regards,
Thorsten

I would never allow case sensitivity for usernames, or mail storage. Makes no sense.

This is because the setting keys may end up being environment variables, which are always uppercased.
