Those look correct.
Now when I open Outlook, I get nothing except the INBOX. I can'tsee anything else. When I go into 'IMAP Folders' and hit refresh, I see the INBOX file, and the tree for 'mail-Archives', but I can't see any files (mailboxes) within that tree, so I can't subscribe to anything.
The 'mail/' namespace doesn't seem to exist since it doesn't show up at all.Checking Thunderbird, I can see and subscribe to anything in'mail/', but like Outlook I can only see the tree in 'mail-Archives' but I can't see the individual files (mailboxes) within the folders to be able to subscribe to them.
Well, clients can become confused a bit too easily. Try talking IMAP protocol directly: http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation
After logging in, the important commands to try would be:
a LIST "" * b LSUB "" * c SELECT mail-Archive/something-that-actually-exists d SUBSCRIBE mail-Archive/something-that-actually-exists
Where does it fail?
