We use dovecot+squirrelmail+maildir without problems:
$imapPort = 1143; #imapproxy on this port
$useSendmail = false;
$smtpServerAddress = 'localhost';
$smtpPort = 25;
$sendmail_path = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$sendmail_args = '-i -t';
$pop_before_smtp = false;
$imap_server_type = 'dovecot';
$invert_time = false;
$optional_delimiter = 'detect';
$encode_header_key = '';
$default_folder_prefix = '';
$trash_folder = 'Trash';
$sent_folder = 'Sent';
$draft_folder = 'Drafts';
$default_move_to_trash = true;
$default_move_to_sent = true;
$default_save_as_draft = true;
$show_prefix_option = false;
$list_special_folders_first = true;
$use_special_folder_color = true;
$auto_expunge = false;
$default_sub_of_inbox = false;
$show_contain_subfolders_option = false;
$default_unseen_notify = 2;
$default_unseen_type = 1;
$auto_create_special = true;
$delete_folder = false;
$noselect_fix_enable = false;
==============================================
Namespaces are:
# default namespace
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
inbox = yes
#location = maildir:/home/virtual/%h
}
# for backwards compatibility:
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = mail/
location = maildir:/home/virtual/%h
hidden = yes
}
===========================================
If no luck use a network sniffer eg tcpdump to intercept the IMAP
commands and see what command is actually "malformed".
