[Dovecot] Imap Ghost folder

[Sascha Zucca]

Hi all.
Sorry, but i can't believe noone has a hint on this one.
I guess it's just some stupid detail i am missing.

dovecot --version
2.1.7
If in the shared folders part of dovecot.conf i use:

*prefix = Freigaben/%%n/ *
Then in the subscription menu (and later in shared Folder too) i see
http://s9.postimage.org/6aohh97ov/iehadjhb.jpg (Open-Xchange-GUI)
http://s12.postimage.org/z0n82k2u5/bjddgefg.jpg (Thunderbird)

all is good, when using
*prefix = Freigaben/%%u/ *
only the name is very longish then, so i'd really prefer "n".

Please help me.

Thank you very much
Sascha
