dovecot & iOS

16 Mar 2017


      Hello List,
i have a working dovecot imap service running with multiple clients
running fine, even iOS.
What's anying is, that only on iOS (   ) i see a huge bunch of .CONTROL
directories - marked grey.
It seems to be a copy of the existing folder structure. I don't see this
on thunderbird, outlook or even roundcube.
Is there any chance to configure dovecot to hide those folders to iOS?
Here's some extended Information....
Attached: Screenshot from iOS, where you can see, what i mean
