Hi,
My setup:
Dovecot 2 latest, installed to replace courrier IMAP, and off course configured with the dot separator and all folder under INBOX.*.
The problem:
My phone was driving me mad during the test, due that it will only recognize Inbox.
How found the solution:
I've started sniffing IMAP traffic on my server and ended up with one difference:
On courier it ask for namespace, on dovecot it won't.
I gives a better look, and noticed that courier show namespace capability on prelogin banner, adding it too solved the problem.
Reason:
Android ICS stock client seems do not honor the capability gived after the login.
Request:
Maybe is possible to put namespace capability in prelogin banner for the next version?
That will solve trouble with a setup like the mine and android stock email client.
Thank you,
Best regards
