Hi list, Daniel,
Finalle got around to try this out. I need to use the same username/password as with the dovecot main mailbox, so I dedited your config sample like this:
imapc_host = old.mail.server imapc_user = %u imapc_password = %w
namespace { type = private separator = / prefix = oldmail/ location = imapc: inbox = no hidden = no list = yes }
However the %w is not expanded to the users password, but instead "%w" is tried as a password, and therefore obviously things fail.
Without adding imapc_user / imapc_password, I get the following error:
imap(username): Error: user username: Initialization failed: Namespace 'oldmail/': imapc: missing imapc_password
How can I get the %w to expand properly, because I think then things would work...?
Regards, Mourik Jan
I would try to create a private namespace "oldmail" http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Namespaces with an imapc proxy http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ImapcProxy
I didn't test it, but configuration could look like this:
imapc_host = oldmailserver namespace { type = private separator = / prefix = oldmail/ location = imapc: inbox = no hidden = no list = yes }
