This is more an Outlook issue than Dovecot, but given that it is connected to Dovecot I figured there would be a good pool of knowledge here that increases the likelihood that somebody knows the answer :) I have a Dovecot server setup with a public folder and keep getting complaints that Outlook users don't see new folders created by other people. In Thunderbird it is simply a case of

Still not quite got my head around what you are expecting to see. Presumably folders for other dates in September. Depending on how and why those folders were created they may not exist. I do note that you used an ls to show the folders, and I'm assuming from the config below you are using Maildir, so try an ls -a to show the hidden folders too (those starting with a .). This should show you

Hello All, I have built up my email server with exim + dovecot + clamv/spamassasin. I am using exim as LDA(local delivery agent). I was reading about using dovecot as LDA but I couldn't find why should I use it? Now, I am looking expert advice on "Why should I use dovecot LDA" ? Is there any benefit in terms of functionality or performance ? Any advice/suggestion/feedbacks

Three days after launching our * system with 20 GS phones, I have finally had to give up on dynamic registration. The phones keep dissappearing from the sip peers list, even if just sitting idle. Either I spend half my time re-booting phones to get them registered, or the extension appears busy to outside callers and people get really irritated. Even setting the registration interval to 5

Hi, (I posted this question about 6 months ago and never really got anywhere with it so I thought I'd try again.) We're using Samba as a WINS server. Windows servers appear to correctly register themselves and I can look them up e.g. with nmblookup. However some servers lose their registration after 5 days. And it's the same servers, about 4 (of about 25 servers and 200
