I would like to have access to the mbox hierarchy, but I want all new folders by default created in ~/Maildir. How do I go about acheiving this?
If you don't want to give some prefix to mbox, but you'd want Dovecot to automatically figure out in which namespaces the mailboxes are.. Sorry, not possible. Perhaps you could do that by changing the code (some stat()ing in namespace_find() might do it).
Well...I had a prefix the second namespace, and it was appending the name of the prefix to the beginning of each folder. It didn't work right, so I removed the prefix and everything looked fine, nice and unified even...but I didn't understand why by default it was trying to create folders in the mbox hierarchy.
I think I figured out the issue though...I had removed the "prefix" completely from the first definition, that might have caused the problem, because it works as expected with this configuration:
namespace private { separator = / inbox = yes prefix = location = maildir:~/Maildir } namespace private { separator = / prefix = "z_mbox/" location = mbox:~/mail }
Thanks for your help.
