I cannot see the Family folder from my IMAPS client. Also it complains of the lack of .INBOX.directory ("Could Not Determine Resource Status").
A concrete problem description, at last.
- Is .Family a proper Maildir++ directory? i.e. does it have a maildirfolder file in it? Missing that would cause Dovecot to not use it.
That's not true (in dovecot-1.0.3, at least). I have no problems accessing any of the subfolders under my ~/Maildir/, but:
$ find ~/Maildir -name cur | wc -l 18 $ find ~/Maildir -name maildirfolder | wc -l 5
i.e. Only 5 of 18 subfolders have that file. I think the dovecot-created folders have it, whereas the procmail-created folders do not. And, as a test:
$ find ~/Maildir -name maildirfolder -exec rm '{}' \;
had no ill effect on the visibility of my folders. That said, I also don't use quotas of any kind, so I can't speak as to its effects on the '++' of Maildir++.
