[Dovecot] location of .subscriptions

Hello Timo,

It seems to work. A maildir structure is created according the
location line in then configuration file.

But in Seamonkey, the MUA I use for the tests, the prefix is showed as
a directory entry. I cannot subscribe to anything because the entry
does not have any mailboxes to subscribe to.

Perhaps I did something wrong? Here is the actual configuration:

Tried it, does not help. 2.91 is REALLY old, I know. :-/

The problem is line 144 in src/lib/macro.h:
--- snip ---
#  define CONTEXT_CALLBACK(name, callback_type, callback, context, ...)
--- snip ---

The compiler does not like the three dots in the parameter list.
Unfortunately I don't know enough about C to correct that.
