Hi All, For info I now believe that this is a cPanel issue not a Dovecot issue. cPanel re-writes dovecot.conf from a template, and what it calls the datastore. From what I have learnt so far it looks like cPanel seems to have lost the mechanism to permit you to change the 'prefix' value in the datastore which I believe should be located at /var/cpanel/conf/dovecot/main, as it no longer exists. The template /var/cpanel/templates/dovecot1.2/main.default exists and modifies the default dovecot.conf and sets it with 'prefix = INBOX.' which I believe is not a default dovecot.conf value. I was able to get around this by creating a copy of the main.deafult file which needs to be called main.local in the same directory and commenting out line 362 as such '#prefix = [% namespace_private.prefix %]'
I am still investigating this and will post further info should I find it.
Kind regards
Marcus
-----Original Message----- there is an entry in dovecot.conf for the private namespace which sets the prefix required to access the namespace as follows
prefix = INBOX.
I commented this out and restarted dovecot.
Hi, I hope someone can point me in the right direction here. I am migrating a mailbox from a non cPanel server, and the mailboxes have folders which seem to be at the same level as the Inbox. when I try to create a 'top level' folder in Outlook I receive the error 'Cannot create the folder: Unknown namespace'
