Hi Timo, i allready asked about this , and did some fixes , but it isnt
working yet ,as far i have a setup like


namespace default {
 # type = private
  separator = /
  prefix = ""
  list = yes
#  hidden = no
  subscriptions = yes
}

namespace virtual {
 # type = private
  prefix = "virtual/"
  separator = /
location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++:INDEX=~/virtual
  hidden = yes
  list = no
  subscriptions= no
}

namespace real {
 # type = private
  prefix = "RealMails/"
  separator = /
  list = no
  hidden = yes
}

pop3_enable_last = yes
pop3_reuse_xuidl = no
pop3_uidl_format = %g
pop3_logout_format = top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s
mail_max_userip_connections = 100
mail_plugins = expire virtual quota mail_log fts fts_squat notify
pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh


RealMails/
RealMails/*
-RealMails/Trash
-RealMails/Trash/*
-RealMails/Sent
-RealMails/Sent/*
-RealMails/Templates
-RealMails/Templates/*
-RealMails/Drafts
-RealMails/Drafts/*
-RealMails/Archives
-RealMails/Archives/*
 unseen

normally this works as expected


some users want to use
leave copies messages on the server for x days then delete via pop3

i tested this with thunderbird
 and looked into the maildir, it seems
that the mails stay in "new" folder of the maildir
after i downloaded via pop3
( i am not sure is this expected ? , i would thought they get to cur   )
thunderbird does not download this mails again ( good ), but it doesnt
delete them from maildir new ever( bad ) , so the whole leave copy and
delete after x days function pop3 is not working

i am not quite sure if there is relation to virtual namespaces
( which i like to use in future too ) , but have to renable this feature
working any idea?
