[Dovecot] Imap Ghost folder

[Sascha Zucca]

Hi List,
i found out the following:
The problem with the "ghostfolder" occurs only if i use

prefix = shares/%%n/

When using
prefix = shares/%%u/

everytung's ok!
Only the name of the folder is a little longish this way, so i would 
really prefer the %%n way.
Any ideas now?

Thank you
Sascha
