On top of that, its impossible to create and access a new folder with KMail on my dovecot: it doesn't happen, that a new folder would be created with name "newfolder" into "parrentfolder", but along with the latter "parrentfolder.newfolder" is created!
Hmm. "parentfolder.newfolder" sounds like maildir++. All KMail (and also Thunderbird) does is tell the IMAP server to create a folder "newfolder" below the folder "parentfolder". It's up to dovecot to actually create the folder in its storage as needed. I cannot imagine why a folder created by Thunderbird results in parentfolder/newfolder while a folder created by KMail results in parentfolder.newfolder unless you switched dovecot's storage format. Well, that is weird to me as I didn't! No joke, I did again: Thunderbird 3.0; KMail 1.12.1 Using KDE 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1); dovecot-1.2.6; So:
- create folder TOP with KMail, then create a subfolder sub, which results in: "TOP" and "TOP.sub" (both prepared as maildirs with cur,new,tmp and maildirfolder file);
- create folder "TOP2" on the same fs level with Thunderbird, then create a subfolder "sub2" into it, which results in: "TOP2" prepared and containing "sub2" also prepared (prepared just like with KMail).
So... Its reality!
