Error: Virtual mailbox loops, Dovecot version 2.2.10

I'm trying to follow the guide at https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual for the 'Conversation' style virtual mailbox, but with a small change. I'd like the virtual mailboxes to be 'top level', which I found while searching through this list is accomplishable by putting the dovecot-virtual file in the root of the namespace location. My issue is this works perfectly fine for the All Mail virtual mailbox, but the Threaded mailbox fails with the error above. I tried creating a RealMail namespace, but that doesn't solve the issue either. I feel like I must be overlooking something simple; I could get this setup working if the virtual mailboxes shared a namespace and were subfolders, but I don't like that setup much (I'm trying to get my companies GMail users on to our own webmail client, it's features like this that I need to replicate with dovecot or they'll never leave their POP3 setups). I've attached the output of dovecot -n, and my virtual mailboxes look like this: # cat Threaded/dovecot-virtual All inthread refs x-mailbox INBOX # cat all/dovecot-virtual RealMail RealMail/* -RealMail/Trash -RealMail/Trash/* -RealMail/Spam -RealMail/Spam/* all I'd appreciate any insight in to this issue. If I try to access the Threaded Inbox through IMAP, I get this error specifically: a select "Threaded Inbox" a NO [SERVERBUG] Virtual mailbox open failed because of mailbox All: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.

As a wild ass guess, I think maybe the client is using used "STARTTLS" intead of "SSL", or some other SSL requirement disagreement. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Mail list empty on my mailserver
by Philippe Forums 03 Apr '17

Hello, After changing NAS, I meet a problem when I go on my e-mail box with my webmail. Either e-mails do not appear anymore, or they appear but are "empty". When I look in the directory of the e-mails of my mailserver, these e-mails are present. I tried to rename files "dovecot.index*" and to restart dovecot but nothing can be done. To make the seesaw of a NAS towards an other one, I copied all the directory of mailserver to an external storage, and made the copy the other way on my new NAS. This directory is a mount to a NAS. Having well to look, it would seem whether it is a date problem, because the copy did not keep the real dates of e-mails and they thus find themselves dated the day of the copy. I know not at all how to get back all my e-mails in my webmail. Thank's for your help. PS : I'm french, sorry for my english. -- ##################### Philippe - Forums
