Hello,
i tried to implement a mixed structure of mbox for spams and spam backscatters and maildir for the rest at dovecot 1.0.13.
I used the information at the dovecot wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces (Multiple Mailbox Locations)
But if i try this (complete config is attached with this part)
namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: "#md/" location: maildir:/srv/imapd/user/%u/maildir inbox: yes hidden: yes
namespace: type: private separator: / location: mbox:/srv/imapd/user/%u/Spam
thunderbird can't open a maildir folder:-( The msg is " Mailbox doesn't exist: XXXX"
If i use this version:
namespace: type: private separator: / location: maildir:/srv/imapd/user/%u/maildir inbox: yes
namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: "#mb/" location: mbox:/srv/imapd/user/%u/Spam hidden: yes
Thunderbird can open maildir folder but no mbox folder.. " Mailbox doesn't exist: XXXX" :-(
Where is my fault? Or is this feature first complete implemented at 1.1? I configured namespaces without hidden like a charme... with hidden i run against a wall :-(
Other question... has anybody a script to delete messages older then XY days in a mbox file?
Here is my complete config with the first config version:
