I did a migration from cyrus 2.2 to dovecot (fresh installation, details below) via cyrus2dovecot from FU Berlin. That worked, but I first was missing mails in subfolders ander Inbox. No I detected that they are in

users Maildir in folders in his directory. They are listed when using telnet:
- LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.ebay"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.ebay.xj"
But they are not shown in thunderbird, I have to subscribe to them one by one. I probably did something wrong and maybe messed up with namespace and seperator settings - it would be great if one could lead me out of that. The wiki was a great help installing and configuring everything, but now I'm stuck.
Unsubscribed mailboxes are not shown in thunderbird, while subscriptions being stored server side, not in your local thunderbird.
Hi Daniel,
thank you, I guess that will be helpful - but before trying it, I would like to get one thing clear, which could be the reason for my misunderstandings:
IMHO I don't need any subscriptions, I would like to appear the imported cyrus folders and subfolders as subfolders in dovecot. The directory structure seperated by '.' in the folders names in my Maildir is exactly how I would like to have it in Thunderbird.
Do I need subscriptions for that (I always thought subscriptions are to subscribe to other users folders, shared by them) or should I have that any other way?
You can use this command to subscribe one or more mailboxes: doveadm mailbox subscribe [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] mailbox ...
This should subscribe all mailboxes of a specific user (-A for all users): doveadm mailbox subscribe -u user@example.com "*"
You can set this configuration option to auto-subscribe new folders: lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes
I will set this, thanks.
Regards Andre
