Hello,
I'm trying to configure lazy_expunge plugin (as a way to provide easy backup for mails). This is my configuration (as explained in dovecot wiki):
# Default namespace namespace { prefix = separator = / inbox = yes }
# namespaces for lazy_expunge plugin: namespace { prefix = .EXPUNGED/ separator = / location = maildir:~/Maildir/expunged } namespace { prefix = .DELETED/ separator = / location = maildir:~/Maildir/deleted } namespace { prefix = .DELETED/.EXPUNGED/ separator = / location = maildir:~/Maildir/deleted/expunged
lazy_expunge = .EXPUNGED/ .DELETED/ .DELETED/.EXPUNGED/
I use just one namespace because I don't want to differentiate between deleting mails or deleting mailboxes, but I have the same problem using the 3 namespaces.
With this configuration, when a user connects, if he doesn't have the expunged folder, dovecot logs:
Sep 16 10:53:35 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=.EXPUNGED/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/Maildir/expunged Sep 16 10:53:35 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged, index=, control=, inbox= Sep 16 10:53:35 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Permission lookup failed from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged Sep 16 10:53:35 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged: mode=0700 gid=-1
and the expunged folder is created (without the cur, new neither tmp folders).
When I delete a message in the INBOX folder (for example), dovecot logs:Sep 16 10:57:19 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Permission lookup failed from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged/.INBOX Sep 16 10:57:19 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged: mode=0700 gid=-1 Sep 16 10:57:19 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Permission lookup failed from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged/.INBOX Sep 16 10:57:19 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged: mode=0700 gid=-1
and the message is stored in the expunge namespace (that is an imap INBOX folder is created in the namespace, with its cur, new and tmp, and the message is stored).
But when I try to delete a whole imap folder (in the example I delete it from trash folder because I use thunderbird and it previously move the folder to trash), dovecot logs:
Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted: mode=0700 gid=-1 Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Permission lookup failed from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted/.Trash.kk-20110916-114546 Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted: mode=0700 gid=-1 Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Permission lookup failed from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted/.Trash.kk-20110916-114546 Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted: mode=0700 gid=-1
and my mail client reports the error "[CANNOT] Can't rename mailboxes accross specified storages" and the mail folder isn't created in the DELETED namespace.
