I'm a total newbie regarding imap servers. I'm trying to set up a Offlineimap/dovecot/Gnus system and Gnus complains that it cannot access the maildir... Here is my setup, put together by copying stuff from around the web without any prior knowledge of these tools...
- Offlineimap is setup to use the $HOME/Maildir-free/, using
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- preauthtunnel = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/Maildir-free --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
in the local maildir part of ~/.offlineimaprc.
- The Maildir-free maildir has been correctly (I think) populated with a single "General" folder.
/home/wilk/Maildir-free: total used in directory 52 available 5502852 drwxrwxr-x 6 wilk wilk 4096 oct. 23 11:10 . drwx------ 240 wilk wilk 20480 oct. 23 15:06 .. drwxrwxr-x 2 wilk wilk 4096 oct. 23 11:09 cur -rw-rw-r-- 1 wilk wilk 348 oct. 23 11:10 dovecot.index.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 wilk wilk 51 oct. 23 11:10 dovecot-uidlist -rw-rw-r-- 1 wilk wilk 8 oct. 23 11:09 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 wilk wilk 0 oct. 23 11:09 dovecot-uidvalidity.5629f967 drwx------ 6 wilk wilk 4096 oct. 23 11:16 General
Maildir++ prefixes all Mailboxes with ".", hence it should read: .General
It should be OfflineIMAP's job to name it that way, right ? I tried adding "sep = ." to the Remote Repository but it seems it only affects the subfolders, not the first-level one.
Also I naively renamed the General folder to .General, and dovecot still can't access it.
Add: -o mail_debug=yes
run this command as the user "wilk"
/usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:/home/wilk/Maildir-free/
-o mail_debug=yes
and check out the debug output.
