Hi guys i understand that you can't subscribe to the Prefix names of
namespace folders right now with dovecot.
But for instance if i user outlook express and it can't see the prefix
name then it can't see the subfolders of that "prefix folder" either.
So even though it can detect and see the subfolders it won't display
them cause it can't see the "parent"
Is there any fix for this? it's also kind of annoying in thunderbird
but at least you can still see the subfolders.
TIA

Here's my config
# /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S "
first_valid_uid = 100
login_user=vmail
mail_extra_groups = mail
mail_debug = yes
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/domains/%n/Maildir
#default_mail_env = maildir:/home/vmail/domains/%n/Maildir
   auth default {
       mechanisms = plain
       passdb ldap {
           args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
       }
       userdb ldap {
           args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
       }
   }
# maildir
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
location = maildir:/home/vmail/domains/%n/Maildir
inbox = yes
hidden = no
}
# mbox
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = "Mbox/"
location = mbox:/home/vmail/domains/%n/Mbox
inbox = no
hidden = no
}
#public spam folder
namespace public {
separator = /
prefix = /Spam/
location = maildir:/home/vmail/domains/Spam/Maildir/
hidden = no
}
ssl_disable = no
ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
ssl_verify_client_cert = no
ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv2:RSA
To clarify for everyone this is regarding Outlook Express
The namespaces work fine for regular Outlook
