Dovecot default inbox name?
I'm installing dovecot and migrating from mbox to maildir. I've read
several articles concerning this process but I can't seem to find the
answer to one particular question. What is the default name of the
inbox when using maildir format? I need to create this in advance for
each user and I don't know what dovecot is expecting for the inbox
directory name.

Another "Too many files open" post
I'm running Solaris 9 Sparc with Dovecot alpha 5 and using maildir
format.. I noticed in the log file the following error:

Corrupted index files
I'm using alpha 5 and I'm getting "Corrupted index cache files" errors
on one user's account. I found several posts in the mail archives on
this subject and concluded from the responses that it's not a serious
problem because Dovecot can deal with it. I deleted the index files and
they were recreated but the error persists. The end user did not notice
any problem

subscriptions or .subscriptions?
I may have found a problem with the documentation concerning the
subscriptions file. On the Dovecot web site there is a document that
outlines the conversion from UW IMAP to Dovecot. The document says
Dovecot's folder list is stored in ".subscriptions"
However, I have found that Dovecot's folder list is really
"subscriptions" without the preceding dot. Did

Problems with alpha3 + openssl-0.9.8
Has anybody successfully compiled alpha 3 with the newly released
openssl-0.9.8? I just wasted the weekend trying to get dovecot to
compile using the new openssl libs. Openssl-0.9.7d works like dream.
Just wanted to know if anybody had this combo working.

Maildir and counting inodes
I've been testing with alpha 3 and I am about ready to go production. I
am switching from mbox to maildir and I'd like to know if there is a
formula or rule of thumb for determining if your file system will have
enough inodes to handle all the mail message files.
I could write a script to look at each user's mbox files, count the
number messages and calculate the average number

Question on moving folders
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've seen this plugin, but I fear that it will be enabled for all users.
I don't have seen an way to enable it only for 1 user like rawlog permits.

Can't create subfolders of my INBOX or delete folders with IMAP
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

Nested folders
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

Messages lost from imap folders
Hello,
We have one user who is complaining that he has lost mails from 3 imap
folders, administered through squirrelmail.
The folders suddenly appeared unregistered, and once manually registered
they were empty.
Has anyone observed something like this?
We are running two servers (as VMs) with Dovecot v2.2.18, synced
(two-way) using dsync. The configurations follow.
Can you please help me
