Hi,
I tried using Nextcloud's Mail app to access my dovecot server (version:
2.2.27 (c0f36b0)), and got an error. The relevant imap log is:
C: 3 LIST () "" (*) RETURN (SPECIAL-USE)
...
S: * LIST () "/" Archives
...
C: 6 STATUS Archives (MESSAGES)
S: 6 NO Mailbox isn't selectable (0.000 + 0.000 secs).
>> Command 6 took 0.0014 seconds.
C: 7 LOGOUT
S: * BYE Logging out
S: 7 OK Logout completed (0.000 + 0.000 secs).
>> Command 7 took 0.0021 seconds.
And the relevant part of my dovecot config:
namespace archives {
disabled = no
hidden = no
ignore_on_failure = no
inbox = no
list = yes
location = mbox:~/.mbox-archives
order = 0
prefix = Archives/
separator = /
subscriptions = yes
type = private
}
Since ~/.mbox-archives is a directory, not a regular file, I'd expect
dovecot to set the \Noselect attribute on the Archives folder. Is there
something I'm missing? I tried using special_use, but that didn't accept
\Noselect as an option.
