Maildir++ layout creates subfolders by separating them with "." in the directory name. So if you wanted to create INBOX/IN-testing, you'd have to name it .INBOX.IN-testing.
The .INBOX directory itself is used only for Dovecot's indexes in 0.99.x. 1.0-stables/tests don't use .INBOX at all anymore.
Thanks for the explanation, my procmail rules are working as expected now!
Are you listing only subscribed folders and haven't subscribed them? Have you set IMAP namespace prefix? It should be empty. Sounds like client problem in any case.
Aha thanks that was it, like I said I'm migrating form mbox to maildir so I've never had to subscribe to folders before!
The subscription thing is IMAP-specific and is just as required to mbox as it is for maildir. Maybe before you hadn't set "show only subscribed folders" checkbox in client's configuration.
I assume you mean't isn't IMAP-specific? Anyway, I can't find an option like this in my "old" account settings... I do notice from time to time that new folders don't show up in evolution regardless of the fact whether the "show only subscribed folders" option is set or not. When it is set and I subscribe to a new folder it doesn't appear all the time either. But that's an evolution problem, I'll bug the evo-list about that later.
default_mail_env = maildir:/%h/Maildir
This is correct. Except the '/' before %h isn't needed.
Should I remove it or is it simply redundant?
As long as filesystems don't try to access //home/... in some special way, it doesn't matter. Cleaner anyway without the extra / :)
Ok, I'll remove it then to be on the safe side.
Thanks for all the feedback! Dovecot is working wonderful, I'll do some more testing but I'm quite confident I'll be able to migrate my main accounts soon!
