I'm trying to enable Imap Notify in Dovecot 2.2.13. I know that's a bit out of date, but that's what's provided with openSuSe 13.2.
The first thing I did was add mailbox_list_index=yes to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. Both doveadm -n and dovecot -n show the change. I then used doveadm reload to force dovecot to reread its config file.
Despite this, NOTIFY did not show up it Dovecot's capabilities:
- OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.
I then did a systemctl restart dovecot.service and still no luck:
- OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.
I also have noticed that the Maildirs of my various accounts include a dovecot.list.index file with a current timestamp, but no dovecot.list.index.
So, where do I go for here?
The output of doveadm -n:
