I use dovecot 1.2.16 and I use . (dot) as the hierarchy separator.
My user structure is like so:
username/Maildir/.Folder1 username/Maildir/.Folder1.Subfolder
The Inbox is right under:
username/Maildir/cur & username/Maildir/new
My namespace definition for the regular mail is:
namespace private { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes }
In a separate directory, nfs mounted, I also hold full daily backups
of each users entire Maildir. It has the following structure:
/archive/username/.14.07.2011/.Folder1 /archive/username/.14.07.2011/.Folder1.Subfolder /archive/username/.15.07.2011/.Folder1 /archive/username/.15.07.2011/.Folder1.Subfolder
What I'm trying to do is to make the Backups available to each user in
their IMAP. I was thinking of symlinking like this:
username/Maildir/Backups --> /archive/username/
Would that work ?
What should my namespace look like for this situation ?
Is there a better way to do this ?
