I am trying to do something very simple - at least thats what I thought. I have some fs, it contains folders and subfolders with email files ordered like maildir. Now I try to set up dovecot on top simply to let some imap account watch these email files. But I cannot see any folders at all. I can create new folders and see them, but I cannot create subfolders as subdirs like "folder/subfolder". Instead I get "folder.subfolder" dirs on the fs. I tried to set the separator to "/", but that does not help at all.
Is there some easy way to configure dovecot to display:
<somedir>/<folder1>/<subfolder1>/new/files... <subfolder2>/new/files... <subfolder3>/new/files...
according to fs layout on some imap-client (like thunderbird)?
Well, first, simply explain what you mean with "email files".
a) you mentioned "maildir", so simply look at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir "Directory layout" this would also fit your example, IMHO.
b) you mentioned "thunderbird", which does not use maildir to my knowledge, but mbox, so simply look at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/mbox
You might want to place control files somewhere else, see CONTROL= and INDEX=.
