Hi Brandon,
judging from your other posts, I think you made some progress on this already. Nonetheless, I will share my working virtual config here. In dovecot.conf I have:
# Virtual mailboxes namespace private { # list = no prefix = virtual/ separator = / # Store virtual mailbox in a "virtual" subdirectory. We use the fs layout, # so nesting of mailboxes is done using normal filesystem nesting. location = virtual:~/Mail/virtual:LAYOUT=fs }
protocol imap { # Enable virtual mailboxes mail_plugins = virtual
Then, in ~/Mail/virtual I have a directory for each virtual mailbox, which contains a dovecot-virtual file. For example, ~/Mail/virtual/INBOX/dovecot-virtual contains: INBOX INBOX/Lists INBOX/Bulk INBOX/MaybeSpam Folders/TODO all
(Where INBOX and subfolders refers to the INBOX folder in the default namespace, with no prefix, which also has inbox = yes set). This allows me to view all my new mail by connecting to imaps://host/virtual/INBOX, and only see important mail on my phone by connecting to imaps://host/INBOX, i.e., my real inbox).
I hope this helps a bit,
Matthijs
