Not quite there yet. The folders show up, but I cannot see the mail inside the folders unless (in the Thunderbird client) I uncheck the setting "Show only subscribed folders". Still, the top-level folder is shown as grayed-out/italics as well as the the sub-folder INBOX. All other sub-folder at the same level as INBOX are not grayed-out, nor are folders subordinate to INBOX:
user@mydom.org <-- topmost "real" account folder +Inbox Drafts Templates send Items Junk E-mail Deleted Items +bpatterson <-- added Maildir folders from former user, grayed-out, italics +INBOX <-- grayed out, italic Payabled <-- not grayed Health Care <-- not grayed : : Sent <-- not grayed Sent Items <-- not grayed Templates <-- not grayed Trash <-- not grayed
Furthermore, if I attempt to delete e.g. "Trash" I get an error, presumably from Dovecot: "The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account user@mydom.org responded: [ALREADYEXISTS] Target mailbox already exists." Seem like an odd error when trying to delete.
Ideas?
With Maildir and path separator "." one can have incomplete paths: eg. bpatterson.INBOX.2011 will say that there is 2011 within INBOX within bpatterson -- while it is possible, that both bpatterson and bpatterson.INBOX do not exist! Thunderbird will render the missing folders gray in the UI, you probably cannot subscribe to those, even from the subscribe dialogue. You should be able to create them though.
Also, you cannot delete a folder, when there is already a folder with the same name inside of your Trash, i.e. Trash.Trash?
