Hello Timo,

Yes. Just change the location = .. in the shared namespace to point to maildir instead of mbox.
It seems to work. A maildir structure is created according the location line in then configuration file.
But in Seamonkey, the MUA I use for the tests, the prefix is showed as a directory entry. I cannot subscribe to anything because the entry does not have any mailboxes to subscribe to.
Perhaps I did something wrong? Here is the actual configuration:

A few days (or weeks?) ago there was a patch in this list for compiling Dovecot v1.1 with gcc 2.95. That would probably work for 2.91 too.
Tried it, does not help. 2.91 is REALLY old, I know. :-/

The problem is line 144 in src/lib/macro.h: --- snip --- # define CONTEXT_CALLBACK(name, callback_type, callback, context, ...) --- snip ---
The compiler does not like the three dots in the parameter list. Unfortunately I don't know enough about C to correct that.
