I just added a new namespace-alias with alias_for. Apparently this causes all mailbox indexes to be resynced? Is this intentional and/or is there some way to avoid this? My NFS storage pretty much kills its elf when hundreds of thausands of users needs to resync indexes :) Thanks -- Tom

I noticed the addition of a new namespace configuration "alias_for". What pracical difference is adding this over and above making namespace aliases hidden and disabling list, as in older versions of dovecot configurations? Joseph Tam <jtam.home at gmail.com>

Any guess at what would cause this?

...sible, like: INBOX All Mail Drafts Recent Sent Trash Is that possible? I've tried changing the "prefix = INBOX.virtual." on the virtual namespace to just "prefix = INBOX.", but that causes a "Duplicate namespace prefix" error. I also tried using "alias_for" to merge the namespaces, but that causes "namespace configuration error: Namespace virtual. can't have alias_for=INBOX. to a different storage type (virtual vs maildir)". -- Robert L Mathews

Hi, I'm migrating from Courier to Dovecot and would like to keep the original namespace and add two new ones on the new server. There's only one namespace in Courier which is "INBOX." . The seperator is "." In the new server I would like to have 3 namespaces (private, public, shared) and use "/" as separator. Is it possible to keep "INBOX." for

...for the current behavior is that all of the mailboxes would contain the same mails, instead of different mails going to different mailboxes with different clients. So for example: .. mailbox Sent { auto = create special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent alias_for = Sent } .. If "Sent Messages" doesn't exist: - DELETE Sent works as usual - RENAME Sent works as usual If "Sent Messages" is created: - it's symlinked to Sent - DELETE "Sent messages" deletes the symlink, not the contents - RENAME "Sent messages&qu...

Hey guys, I'm wondering what the best way is to be backwards compatible with Courier mailbox formats and not duplicate mailbox trees with Dovecot. Is anyone doing this right now? My Dovecot 2.0.13 is configured as follows for Namespaces: namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . } namespace { hidden = yes inbox = no list = no location = prefix
