You probably want to read the description of "reference name argument" to understand what is happening here.

Hi,
i am using dovecot-2.2.10-7.el7.x86_64 on centos-release-7-3.1611.el7.centos.x86_64.
if i follow this tutorial https://delog.wordpress.com/2011/05/10/access-imap-server-from-the-command-l... i can login to my server and successfully list the folders using tag LIST "" "*"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX tag OK List completed.
no folders are listed using tag LIST / "*" tag OK List completed.
when i request a folder listing using JavaMail it similarly sends the following command and no folders are listed a97 LIST / "*" a97 OK List completed.
if i follow the tutorial again and use my gmail account instead of my dovecot installation i can successfully list folders using both methods tag LIST / "*"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "youtube" tag OK List completed.
is there some way to make dovecot list folders when it receives the command LIST / "*"
i note that in the listings my dovecot installation has "." in the middle and gmail has a "/"
