Hi Timo,
We are sitting here wondering if this difference in behaviour between
dovecot 2.0.17 and 2.1.3 is intended.
When you create a folder, subscribe to it and rename it (without
changing the subscription) these are the behaviours:
For 2.0.17:
. list (SUBSCRIBED) "" "*" RETURN (STATUS (MESSAGES))
* LIST (\Subscribed \NonExistent) "." "INBOX.test"
For 2.1.3:
. list (SUBSCRIBED) "" "*" RETURN (STATUS (MESSAGES))
* LIST (\Subscribed) "." "INBOX.test"
* NO Mailbox doesn't exist: test
If you don't use rfc5819 the folder will just get silently ignored by
dovecot 2.1.x, but if you actually try to get the number of messages
you'll get the error.
It seems to me from reading rfc5258 that the 2.0.x behaviour is the
correct ??
