Hi,
I' m using dovecot v1.0.rc17 on a Centos 4.4 linux box with maildir format. Linux box mounts two LUNs of our Storage Area Network. LUN(a) has been mounted on /home with linux quota enable (small in size , but faster than LUN(b)) LUN(b) has been mounted on /archive with linux quota enable (big in size, but slower than LUN(a) )
I want to create two different private namespaces for our users. The first namespace is used for users' current mail (INBOX,Trash,Sent ....) and is located on faster disk (LUN(a)) The second namespace is used as mail archive. User drags his mail from first namespace to the folders located on the second namespace.
This is my namespace definition in dovecot.conf
default_mail_env = maildir:/%h/MailDir namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes hidden = yes } namespace private { separator = / prefix = "#Archive/" location = maildir:/archive/%u/MailDir #hidden = yes }
This is the output to NAMESPACE command :
02 namespace
- NAMESPACE (("#Archive/" "/")) NIL NIL
We have a lot of types of client: Outlook >= 2000, Thunderbird, Eudora 7, Squirrellmail 1.4.8 with different behavior regarding namespace.
These are my questions:
Is my namespace configuration right? Am I missing something? It is a bit different from that at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces
If I create a folder under the default namespace (i.e. .test under user MailDir) and add the folder name in namespace's subscription , Outlook and Eudora show me the folder and if I open the subscribe menu' they show me the two namespaces with their folders. With Thunderbird I can't see the created folder under default namespace and if I open the subscribe window I can see only the second namespace "#Archive" (That one not hidden). Is it a Thunderbird
problem?
Thank you
