Hello-
I have set up Dovecot before and feel fairly comfortable with it but am having some issues with a new setup and have not been able to find a solution via Google or the list archives.
I use offlineiimap to sync an IMAP account with an email provider. After the sync is complete, my ~/Maildir is set up with a folder called INBOX (with cur,new,tmp inside) and all my other folders set up at same level as INBOX (also with cur,new,tmp inside):
~/Maildir INBOX cur new tmp Otherfolder1 cur new tmp Otherfolder2 cur new tmp etc..
This email provider says that they use '/' as the IMAP folder separator so '.' can be used in folder names.
Anyway, I am using Dovecot 1.0.15 on Debian Lenny and can't seem to get Dovecot to recognize this folder structure and display it in my MUA. In my dovecot.conf, I have:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
When I fire up my MUA it connects fine but does not display anything -- the INBOX is empty and the other folders are not there. I have tried various configurations with the namespace private {} section but without success. What am I missing?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
