Hi again, I just recognized a problem concerning subfolders after converting from maildir to mdbox. Thunderbird and SeaMonkey don?t show folders that are subfolders of subfolders. Have a look at the filesystem: discovery:/var/mail/domain.tld/patrick/mdbox/mailboxes/Folder1/Folder2# ls -l insgesamt 8 drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 5. Sep 23:42 dbox-Mails drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 5. Sep

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, We have installed a brand new Dovecot because it seems very interesting as an IMAP server. We created a mailbox for a test user and we succeeded in copying some mails into it. However making subfolders does not work. The only folders we can create are in the root, next to the INBOX that is. We thought Maildir does support subfolders (as opposed to mbox), are we wrong here? Our Dovecot

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 folks I have a problem related to the mbox format I think First we use MBOX format with Dovecot 1.14 A user's here need to create some subfolders in his Imap space. Due to the use of MBOX format this is impossible from thunderbird as you cannot creat a directory in a file :-) So to help him I created manually on the mail server some directories into his imap space, Doing so we are

Hello, I am trying to convert a maildir that was managed by courier-imap up to now to dovecot. I am using the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script as follows: courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --convert --recursive ~/Maildir However, this command only seems to convert the base maildir, but not all the subfolders. I thought that that's what the --recursive option was for. Is the command above

Hi, I've got an old dovecot installation (0.99.10.5) which is used as the back-end for a squirrelmail web mailer. Now I need to decide whether to update it to a newer version of dovecot or to switch to a different software. One feature that I really need is to be able to place messages and subfolders in a folder at the same time. This is with mbox format files (I can't use maildir). The

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 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

I setup a test dovecot-1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5 and left most of the settings as the defaults. In Thunderbird 1.5.0.8 Windows, when I tried to create a subfolder named "subfolder" under INBOX, it showed up as the same level a INBOX and with the name "INBOX^subfolder". I was able to manually create a subfolder using "mkdir ~/mail/test_manual_subfolder; touch

I have moved from dovecot 1.x to 2.x and I have big problem with subfolders. When I'm moving subfolder with other subfolders is moving only main subfolder, without subfolders, example : mail-storage-1 /var/vmail/home/adamskitest/mdbox/mailboxes # find | egrep -e "janusz|jarek" ./jarek ./jarek/dbox-Mails ./jarek/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log ./jarek/jarek2 ./jarek/jarek2/dbox-Mails

Hi all, after each startup of my different mail clients (thunderbird, outlook, ...) the contents of subfolders if I click in has to be renewed. This takes some time for large folders. I just migrated from courier. And there all subfolders were available immediately. Is there something to configure? Another effect regarding subfolders is that the client forgets, which subfolders were opened

Hallo, I try to migrate existing imap server to dovecot 1.2 in debian squeeze if I connect to imap://user at host/INBOX Inbox works as expected and I get the content of Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.subfolder already exists if I connect to imap://user at host/INBOX.subfolder I get "folder not found" if I do a imap directory listing (raw mutt config, no subscriptions)

Some ova files have their ovf and other files inside a folder rather than at the root of the tarball. Consider the paths relative to the ovf file to cover this case too. --- v2v/Makefile.am | 1 + v2v/input_ova.ml | 3 +- v2v/test-v2v-i-ova-subfolders.sh | 88 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 91 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode

Hello We actually use MBOX format on our mailhub but this does not permit to create IMAP subfolders. Many users are asking me fot this feature and I agree with them of course. My problem is to choose the format that will permit imap subfolders creation. Maildir is not my favorite format and I wonder about MDBOX. Does it permit imap subfolders creation ? It is possible to convert from MBOX to

Hi, [ please CC me on replies, I'm not subscribed to the list ] I'm using dovecot-99.9.1 with a little hack to get authentication to work the way we want it. The server is running on a Solaris 9 host and user homes are mounted via NFS from a Solaris 8 server (Version doesn't seem to matter). Almost everything's fine but I can't delete maildir subfolders if these reside on a

I don't know if this is an Evolution bug or not, but when I use the maildir format with Dovecot 0.99.10p2 (from OpenBSD packages collection) and connect to it from Evolution 1.4 using IMAP, Evolution displays subfolders incorrectly. It actually does not show any subfolders, only root folders with names like "Folder.Subfolder" and "Folder.Subfolder.Subsubfolder".

Hi, I've recently migrated my emails from a Yahoo account to my own mailserver on a VPS. Ever since then, Thunderbird seems to have issues with the mailbox's directory structure: When I start Thunderbird, it immediately deletes the local copies of all 3rd-level folders (i.e. subfolders of a subfolder of a folder in the mailbox root). Since that didn't happen with the Yahoo account, I

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am running 1.6.0.15 and am trying to get IMAP storage working. I have had no trouble doing so, except that I wish to create a subfolder in my account for voicemail, such that I have: #voicemail/ INBOX Old Family Friends Work I can set IMAPFOLDER=#voicemail.INBOX in voicemail.conf and successfully get voicemail to work as expected.

Hi, I have a problem with INBOX subfolders and subscriptions which I can't solve... Maybe somebody has seen this, too... I can create regular subfolders (not in INBOX) and (un-)subscribe to them with Thunderbird. If I create subfolders in the INBOX with TB this seems to work now in v31 (just found this out), but with v24.6 neither INBOX subfolder creation nor subscriptions worked. When
