Hi all, I am migrating a maildir Courier-IMAP installation to Dovecot. Almost everything seems to work well, but I still have problems accessing subfolders. First let's see what I have done. I used the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script suggested in http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier to convert mailboxes from Courier to Dovecot. No problems here. My dovecot.conf contains this:
(...) mail_location = maildir:/mail/vmail/domains/%h namespace private { prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } (...)
The subscriptions file in the mailboxes looks correct to me. It includes all the folders and subfolders, i.e.:
Sent Trash Drafts mail.dovecot mail.misc mail.postmaster tools web.apache web.css
Folders separated by "." are actually subfolders:
mail ---- dovecot
|
--- misc
|
--- postmasterI let the configuration of my IMAP clients unchanged from Courier to Dovecot. That is, they specify the "INBOX." prefix, as before. For instance, with Pine:
folder-collections=mymail {mymail.example.com/user=John.Smith}INBOX.[]
Now the problem: I get different behaviours depending on the client I use to access to Dovecot:
Thunderbird: All the folders are seen correctly. But the whole folders tree is under "Inbox", while with Courier the first-level folders (i.e. Drafts, mail, web) were at the same level of Inbox
Webmail (Squirrelmail 1.4.8): The same as above.
Pine: The folders are apparently correct, and are not under Inbox, but I can access only the first-level folders: the folders containing sub-folders are empty, therefore the subfolders cannot be accessed.
Any hints? Thanks in advance
