I had a working dovecot install before I tried to implement shared folders using namespaces. I added the following to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: namespace private { separator = prefix = inbox = yes } namespace public { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:/home/public/shared/Maildir } </pre> I created my shared folder using the maildirmake

Hello, I am trying to migrate existing UW-IMAP installation to dovecot 1.1.14 and I am having troubles with namespaces. As you know UW-IMAP allows full system access to home directory of a user and you can set up dovecot to do that as well, but I would like to use namespaces. If I set my namespaces like this: namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes location =

Hello, we basically run a dovecot imap setup where users' mailboxes are in private namespaces (as usual), but there is a public namespace with several thousand deeply nested folders also. The client we use is Thunderbird 3. The public namespace shows up in each user's account at the top level (i.e. same level as Inbox, Sent and so on), and users can make new subfolders in the public

Hi, I'm a new dovecot user. We've actually just migrated our email system from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot (2.0 rc5) cause we were choking on IO and resources, and dovecot's cache and indexing really seems to help, not to mention the awesome amount of options, tweaks, and extra features, so far, I'm lovin' it. However, we're having a few issues with Thunderbird and I

Hi, I was following the earlier namespaces discussion and I would like to repost a doubt. I need to have some kind of archiving, it means, store old messages into a cheap storage. But I couldn?t think any other solution than symlinks. Then, I thought about store 'Sent Items' (as having old messages and less acessed). But I also needed to do with nfs and symlinks. So, it comes the

Hi Timo and all. imap/cmd-create.c contains the following bit of code: len = strlen(full_mailbox); if (len == 0 || full_mailbox[len-1] != ns->sep) directory = FALSE; else { /* name ends with hierarchy separator - client is just informing us that it wants to create children under this mailbox. */

I have some old mail on courier-imap that I'd like to bring over some of the readme says I need to make Dovecot's inbox as "INBOX" not "Inbox" for courier-imap compatibility.. that seems to be already default, no ? also, my INBOX is mainly like 'sent/year/month' and some other 'work/this' subfolders is there a tool I need to use, or should just copy

Hi! Is it possible to combine these two features of dovecot, i.e. to have a specific namespace that proxies to another IMAP server? Greetings -- Robert Sander

Hi all, Is there a way to prohibit users of creating subfolder(s) under a Public Namespace ??? Here is my conf #------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps ssl_ca_file: /etc/postfix/sasl/cacert.pem ssl_cert_file: /etc/postfix/sasl/cert.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/postfix/sasl/key.pem login_dir:

Hello everyone, today I have tried to set up shared and public IMAP folders, but it didn't work. # rpm -qa | grep dovecot dovecot12-backend-mysql-1.2.11-3.3.1.x86_64 dovecot12-backend-sqlite-1.2.11-3.3.1.x86_64 dovecot12-1.2.11-3.3.1.x86_64 dovecot12-backend-pgsql-1.2.11-3.3.1.x86_64 Here is my dovecot.conf [1]. Can anyone explain what is wrong with my configuration? It is not possible

Hi! I've been using shared mailbox trees using maildir, unix permissions and separate namespaces per shared tree since dovecot 1.0. However now that I've upgraded to 1.2.8, I cannot create subfolders anymore. The server responds with "NO Invalid mailbox name: test/testsub". The hierarchy separator for the namespaces is / because I am mixing maildir and mbox namespaces and

I've been puttering around with extensions.ael, and had a question. (Well, 2 questions, but they're related). First, would asterisk recognize any other .ael files as asterisk extension language? Second, is there a way to #include another file from extensions.ael like there is from extensions.conf? TIA Greg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

I'm trying to use the namespaces feature to set up dovecot to look just like our existing Courier IMAP server, and our previous Cyrus server. That is, all folders are subfolders of INBOX, and the hierachy separator is ".". I put this in the configuration file: namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. location = maildir:~/.maildir } This makes subfolders

Hi, i am using hardy dovecot, 1.0.10. If i enable namespaces (the private and a public one) i am unable to create new subfolders in my private namespace, only top level folders works. There is nothing in the log about that error even if i set mail_debug = yes. If i comment out everything (no namespaces at all, implicit private one), it works again. Any hints whats going wrong, why is my client

hello everyone, i'm new to this list im running dovecot as imap+pop (2.1.12) and roundcube (0.8.4) as client. having problems on saving to imap folders, with errors on some accounts my folder structure is as follow: /home/user/.maildir /home/user/.maildir/.Drafts /home/user/.maildir/.Junk /home/user/.maildir/.Sent /home/user/.maildir/.Trash /home/user/.maildir/.Archives

We have just migrated from cyrus-imap to dovecot 2.2.9 on Ubuntu. By default, all our user's manually created folders appear at the same folder level as INBOX (i.e., they are next to INBOX, and not inside INBOX in a typical tree view of the folders). But on Dovecot, users are able to create new folders either parallel to INBOX or as subfolders within INBOX, which I think is going to lead to

Hi all, We're using the mbox format and I tried setting up IMAP on my boss's computer tonight. He likes subfolders, and although they work, he can't seem to remove subfolders once he created them, nor create new folders without using something other than his mail client (like mkdir from the command line). Any ideas on this? Does dovecot just not officially support IMAP and

Does Dovecot support public folders? I thought it may do via namespaces, but having searched the Wiki and the documentation, I can't find how namespaces are defined. I've probably not looked in the right place - any pointers? Thanks, Keith
