[Dovecot] problem with POP3 mail location when using namespaces

[Lutz Preßler]

Hello,

I have a problem (at least with 1.0rc28 and 1.0rc27) when using
the following namespace definitions:

namespace private {
  separator = "/"
  inbox = yes
  location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
}

namespace public {
  separator = /
  prefix = 0-LISTS/
  location = mbox:/var/mail/lists:INDEX=~/.sharedMail/lists/index
}

namespace private {
  separator = "/"
  prefix = "0-MAILDIR-FOLDERS/"
  location = maildir:~/Maildir
}

IMAP access is working as expected, but when connecting with POP3(s),
the (mostly empty in our case) ~/Maildir is used as mail location
when it has been created (including index files) by IMAP access.
If ~/Maildir does not exist/has been deleted again, POP3 uses
/var/spool/mail/%u.
This is independent of the private namespace section order and
also an explicit "inbox = no" in 0-MAILDIR-FOLDERS namespace.

Any idea if this is an configuration issue I don't understand yet
or a bug?

Thanks,
  Lutz
