In my old setup, a user could have folders on the server, and by using his login with the mailbox appended, could pop a given folder specifically.
For instance, logging in with user@example.com would pop INBOX, and logging in with user-folder@example.com would pop just that specific folder.
Is it possible to do something like this in Dovecot, or is the only possible way of popping folders by using the virtual plugin?
Though this is of course "Paradigm error" or "Trying to ice-skate up hill".
If you want to access folders, then use IMAP.
Historically IMAP has difficult, slow, unreliable and generally gnarly.
But nowadays Dovecot makes IMAP work well.
Of course you have to pick the right client. I've never had good experiences with MS-Outlook over IMAP, but then I haven't even bothered with it for several years. My current favourite is Thunderbird 3.
