[Dovecot] 2nd REPOST: mbox vs maildir

I'm going to assume this is just not possible, or that no one has an 

answer, which would lead me back to uw-imap since it does work as-is. So I'll post it again, hoping that there is a solution for this setup and that folks have just been too busy to help think about it and/or help come up with a possible solution.

Ignoring my previous message just for a second, I realized that my

config wasn't correct. First the layout:

~mail/
~mail/Drafts
~mail/Ashley-Feb09
~mail/Others-Feb09

~mail-Archives/
~mail-Archives/2009/
~mail-Archives/2009/Ashley/
~mail-Archives/2009/Ashley/Ashley-Dec09
~mail-Archives/2009/Ashley/Ashley-Nov09
~mail-Archives/2009/Ashley/Ashley-Oct09


So I (now) have this for namespaces:

namespace private { separator = / prefix = "mail/" location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes # for v1.1+ }

namespace private { separator = / prefix = "mail-Archives/" location = maildir:~/mail-Archives:LAYOUT=fs inbox = no hidden = no list = yes subscriptions = yes }

But when I'm in Thunderbird and I try to subscribe to anything that

falls inside of ~/mail-Archives/ it won't work. I can browser all the way down to the folder, but I can't see anything within that folder.

For example, consider the full path to the following 'Ashley-Dec09'

mailbox:

~mail-Archives/2009/Ashley/Ashley-Dec09

In Thunderbird, when I hit 'Subscribe' I can browse down to '2009'

and I can see 'Ashley', but I can't drill down into it and subscribe to 'Ashley-Jan09'.

What am I missing here?
