Hi there,
I'm working on converting my server from using bincimap to dovecot. I seem to be having some trouble with folders, however. Binc was set up like this :
depot = "IMAPdir", /* Use Maildir++ style
type = "Maildir", /* only Maildir
path = "Maildir", /* default path */
auto create inbox = "yes", /* create INBOX in
auto subscribe mailboxes = "INBOX", /* list mailboxes
umask = "077" /* use this umaskI have dovecot set up thusly :
mail_location = maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/%d/%n/Maildir
namespace private { separator = / prefix = INBOX/ inbox = yes hidden = yes }
The problem is, I'm not seeing any folders.. If I do a listing in the directory, I see this :
-rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 35453 Mar 10 2004 bincimap-cache -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 702 Jul 16 19:20 .bincimap-subscribed -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 73 Mar 10 2004 bincimap-uidvalidity drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 532480 Jul 21 11:49 cur -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 25956 Jul 21 11:49 dovecot.index -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 35840 Jul 21 11:49 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 18220 Jul 21 11:49 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 42080 Jul 21 11:34 dovecot.index.log.2 -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 106631 Jul 21 11:49 dovecot-uidlist drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 21 09:38 INBOX drwx------ 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 20 16:17 INBOX\.Drafts drwx------ 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 16 18:53 INBOX\.Learn FP drwx------ 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 20 17:37 INBOX\.Learn Spam drwx------ 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 16 18:56 INBOX\.Sent drwx------ 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 20 17:37 INBOX\.Spam drwx------ 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 21 11:44 INBOX\.Trash drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 348160 Jul 21 11:53 new -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 0 Jul 21 11:34 subscriptions drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 21 11:53 tmp -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 72 Jul 16 18:57 uidvalfilename
It would appear that I need to use . as my separator, but that doesn't work either.. Any thoughts?
Also, I'm using SQL for authentication. Is there a limitation to the characters allowed in the password? I was unable to use a password with a # in it, or is there a way to escape it?
