My next bonehead maneuver - was more of the first! location = virtual:/var/mail/%%d/%%n/mdbox/mailboxes/virtual
was adapted from my definition for my shared namespace. Which was intended to share OTHER users - which is why the '%%' prefixes are used. Changing to: location = virtual:/var/mail/%d/%n/mdbox/mailboxes/virtual
Now I can actually view something! But I still have a challenge - the mailboxes don't allow subscriptions via IMAP. If I manually edit the "subscriptions" file I can force it and I can now browse & view - but I can't make changes via IMAP clients. What else am I missing?

Any ideas on what I need to check or should post to help find the problem?

The first bonehead maneuver seems to be: location = virtual:/var/mail/%%d/%%n/mdbox/virtual I'm thinking it should be: location = virtual:/var/mail/%%d/%%n/mdbox/mailboxes/virtual
But...it didn't seem to make a difference. And if I have the "virtual" folder tree under a location other than "/var/mail/domain/user/mdbox/mailboxes" no names appear - so I think I have the files in the right place. Any ideas?

Having some trouble with my first attempt at virtual mailboxes. I've enabled the plugin in 10-mail.conf, added a virtual namespace, and created the dovecot-virtual files in the folders.
I see the folder names in the list when I refresh the folders available for subscription - but the folders cannot be subscribed to and I can't view their contents. What obvious mistake did I make?

Given my mail storage location of /var/mail/%%d/%%n, I have created: /var/mail/mydomain/myname/virtual/newfolder
and within that folder created a dovecot-virtual. I created a few like this from the wiki samples - the folder names are visible but no contents.
