similar to: Folders with . in them

Hi, I've been using the dovecot IMAP server for about a year now, and basically it works. But there's an annoying problem, that I can't make any subfolders. I can only make folders that are at the same level as my INBOX folder. Worse, I can't delete folders once I've created them. I'm using Debian unstable on both the server machine and my client machine. The

Hi, I have dovecot-2.2.15 on fedora21 with Thunderbird and having some difficulty creating subfolders and deleting folders. Creating subfolders results in a folder at the root with a caret instead of a slash called folder^subfolder with an entry in .subscriptions with that name, instead of a new folder under the directory. I'm also unable to delete any folders. The command from within

Hello all, I am trying to do something very simple - at least thats what I thought. I have some fs, it contains folders and subfolders with email files ordered like maildir. Now I try to set up dovecot on top simply to let some imap account watch these email files. But I cannot see any folders at all. I can create new folders and see them, but I cannot create subfolders as subdirs like

Hello When creating new IMAP folder with thunderbird and Dovecot configured with the std MBOX format dovecot create a file in mbox format and so it is not possible to create a subfolder of this folder. If you ask to create a NEW subfolder of the form : TOTO/TATA Dovecot create a directory TOTO containing a mbox file TATA. Very useful :-) I suppose the "/" separator is parsed by

dovecot-2.2.36-3.el7.x86_64 The below configuration seems to work for Thunderbird and emclient, when moving a message to Junk. Emclient uses "Junk E-mail" and Thunderbird uses "Junk". On the server is only the file .Junk created as expected. When I move a message to Archive in Thunderbird. On the server the files .Archives and .Archives.2018 are created (Thunderbird

Hello all, I am running Dovecot alpha1, and after about 24 hours of the server working fine, it starts to lock up when I open Thunderbird to check mail. Basically I can see new mail, but when I click it, it just hangs at "Loading message...". I get the following in my maillog: Aug 23 09:25:28 palantir dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=IMAP

I would like to have nested folders that users could create from their MUA. The problem is that I cannot create sub folders either through the MUA or by hand on the server side. I can make folders that are not the subfolder of anything. I have an Inbox, Mailing Lists, Spam, Trash, etc. But I cannot create subfolders of these. For example, I would like a subfolder under Mailing Lists for each

I'm trying to use a script to create a mailbox structure. I'm aware that the structure should look like: ~/.maildir/.INBOX/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2.Subsubfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ... I have tried manually making those directories and using the "maildirmake.dovecot" command that

hello, I know this is a question that has probably been answered before but I have searched for the answer and am yet to find it. I am running dovecot under fedora core 2 and cannot figure out where I set it so that users can create nested folders. At the moment they can only create one subfolder in most mail clients. however if using squirrelmail they can create nested folders but the folder

Hi, On my mail server I want to implement shared folders for each workgroup where there are many workgroups. One way would be to create a separate namespace for each workgroup. However, this does not scale well so I decided to use a single Shared mailbox and use ACLs: namespace public { separator = . prefix = Shared. location = maildir:/var/mail/shared:CONTROL=~/Maildir/shared } Each

Hi, I?m running dovecot 2.2.13 and I ran into a weird problem. A user migrated his mailboxes by letting users copy them from their old server to the new one through their MUA. All that went fine except for one very weird instance. The user is running Outlook 2010. The user has a sub-folder structure which dovecot places as dotted names beneath the Inbox. (E.g. Maildir/.my.sub.folders). After

Is there a way to move an imap subfolder up one level? I have a bad mouse and every now and then I have accidentally dragged an imap folder on top of another folder. I am unable to get the original folder back up one level. I've tried using several clients and I can't get it to work with dovecot. I keep getting a "folder already exists" message. I'm guessing dovecot

hi guys, I hope it's common trouble, but I'm not able to find a solution: - i'am using courier imap and trying to migrate to the dovecot - on courier I have all folders as subfolder of Inbox - i.e. Inbox.Sent but on dovecot the folder Sent is not subfolder of Inbox, but its on the same level. Please is there some possibility to have the subfolders the same behaviour as in courier?

Hi all, I am currently facing an issue with Dovevot version 2.2.29.1 where subfolders in a public namespace are only visible to the 2nd folder level: namespace Public -> folder "1st" -> folder -> "2nd" -> folder "3rd" .... When one user creates a subfolder below the 2nd level other users do not see that folder and are unable to subscribe to this

Hello again, I have an installation with dovecot and I am accessing it through linux mint and thunderbird v3.0.10 As thunderbird "subscribes" to dovecot, it does the following : Inbox Trash MyName at Mydomain.gr Local Folders Local Folders MyName at Mydomain.gr subfolder A Subfolder B Subfolder C Subfolder D Subfolder E Local Folders Outbox OK, I have to admit a have

Hi all, I have a dovecot setup with virtual users and a passwd-file passdb. All users have the same uid and gid. Recently I got my public folders working using namespaces and they work great. However, now I'm trying to share a folder between a limited number of users and so far I failed to get it working. Symlinks aren't an option because users need to be able to create

Hi, I'm in the process of migrating several years worth of mail to be accessible via an IMAP server. Some time ago, I evaluated both Binc IMAP and Dovecot and found Dovecot to be much faster on large folders, which is quite important to me. One thing I did not however manage to determine from the documentation on namespaces is whether or not it is possible to implement what Binc IMAP calls

Hi all, does anybody here use MacOS (Catalina) Mail, who can confirm that subfolders (i.e. folders inside folders) work for them? It seems that I cannot create/access Maildir subfolders at all. Subfolders created in Mail show up as '.folder\2esubfolder' on disk, suggesting that Apple Mail is URL-coding the dot separator before it passes it onto Dovecot. No such translation takes place

Hello, I am using Dovecot 1.2.9 on a 32bit on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. We got one user who uses folders in an "exessive" way. He has got 704 subscribed folders. That means about nearly 3000 folders on the filesystem. Since ~ a week the user couldn't work because of timeouts when connecting to Dovecot (IMAP). Thunderbird doesn't show any folders - timeout - the webmail System
