Hi All,
I recently switched our Courier IMAP server over to Dovecot primarily for performance reasons. Server OS is Debian Sarge with Dovecot packages from backports.org (v 1.0.rc2-1bpo1).
Access from Thunderbird and Horde worked fine with some shared folders defined and the Courier compatibility private folder stanza. Initial testing with Mail.app showed that, although the folder listing was fetched correctly including all shared folders, no mail could be viewed with Mail.app timing out with an error about invalid namespace. (I'll post the exact error message as a follow up when I can test again later).
I guess the invalid namespace problem should be fixed somehow..
After searching the mailing list for a while, I came upon a message suggesting adding a second private namespace like so:
namespace private { separator = . prefix = "INBOX." inbox = yes hidden = no }
namespace private { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes hidden = yes }
There can be only one namespace with inbox=yes. Also set location to point to some empty directory, something like:
location = mbox:~/.emptydir
