It seems that there is no standard for folder names that deal with typical message classes such as drafts, outbox, sent, spam etc. At least there's no common sense on a naming convention that tells how client should handle this. Worse than this, most IMAP clients auto-create folders according to their own naming convention if they don't exist. Every client introduces its own view. Users

Hello, Some versions of Outlook will randomly rename the Junk folder to Junk Email. This of course causes errors because Dovecot can no longer store junk. I go in to Outlook for each user and add another Junk folder, so now they have Junk and Junk Email. This fix action lasts a while until Outlook decides to do it again. Is there a way to tell Dovecot that if the Junk folder doesn't

Hi All, I'm trying to configure Dovecot 2.0.9 to support Outlook 2013. As I understand it, I need to configure XLIST. I have added imap_capability = +XLIST to 20-imap.conf When I try to query the IMAP folders I get an error "An IMAP command Failed". Looking at the logs I get XLIST Command not found. I can only assume that I'm missing something in the

A user alerted me to a problem when he renamed an upper level mail folder and lost access to a lower level folder under it. I tried with and without listescape, it didn't seem to make a difference, and I saw no errors in the dovecot log. Symptoms are if a client has a maildir folder tree .a and .a.b and renames a to c in their client, Thunderbird shows c/b but b is inaccessible since it

I plan to define SPECIAL-USE mailboxes and think about defining per user special-use folders for those who don't use the default folder names. Is this possible in dovecot?

Hello Dovecot Community, I am using Dovecot 2.2.13-12~deb8u1 (Debian Jessie). separator = / listescape plugin is NOT active LAYOUT=fs is NOT active I would like to prohibit a creation of folders with dot "." in the names - so creation of a folder "foo.bar" should NOT be possible.

I've already asked this here: http://serverfault.com/questions/533940/best-practice-to-have-sent-mail- folder-on-dovecot-imap-server Hi, when I add a mail account to KMail (or most other MUA I suppose) the sent mail folder is on the local machine and I don't have my sent mails on other machines. I'd like to have a sent mail folder in IMAP and I thought that there would already

Just a minor cosmetic issue: We use the listescape plugin in order to support "." characters in Maildir++ folder names, and in at least the following case, the escaped representation of the dot character ("\2e") won't be translated back to a "." in messages for the IMAP client: | 1 SELECT non.existent | 1 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: non\2eexistent However,

I've just stumbled across a strange thing which seems to be a bug. It happens in 2.0.9 as well as 2.0.11 in which I tested it. dovecot -n output: # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.2 (Final) listen = * mail_location = maildir:~/mail mail_plugins = " quota listescape" mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes

Hi, I have a fedora21 install with dovecot-2.2.18, and when creating a new subfolder with thunderbird, the actual folder name is "Folder1^Folder2" with a carat as a separator, instead of creating Folder2 in the Folder1 directory. Is this a thunderbird problem? I don't recall having this problem prior to upgrading to fedora21, so thought maybe it's a dovecot problem. Maybe the

Hello, How I can share a folder with dots when the listescape plugin is enabled? In this example user001 is sharing two foders named "docs-abc" and "docs-a.b.c" to user002. The first folder (without dots) is seen by user002 but the second is not found by dovecot because it search a system folder named ".docs-a.b.c" but the system folder is

It should be mentioned somehow that one can't just change the hierarchy separator on the fly (without manual changes to the fs). If you used . as the separator, it would look this in the filesystem: .testfolder.sub1 Now you change the separator to $. Your mail client will see the existing

Hi, the listescape plugin seems to take its job a little bit too serious. Dovecot version: 1.2.3 + patch 9b62aa2132de Without listescape: 2 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "#Users/test1 at merry.dovecot" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "#Users/test1 at

user attempts to create folders with / dovecot naturally cannot create it so it returns error but outlook of course "create" it and keep data in local store only. data is lost when you remove local store .pst file. The question is - can dovecot be configured so it will automatically replace slash in name with something else?
