Dear Colleagues,
I have a fairly vanilla setup of dovecot on FreeBSD, serving IMAP and POP3. Thunderbird/IMAP works fine, and so does mutt/IMAP.
However, Android clients (Gmail/IMAP and K-9 Mail) have problems accessing folders other than the INBOX. They either show them empty with no mails (K-9) or just wait forever to view the contents (Gmail app).
Do I need to set up some workarounds or hacks in dovecot for Android IMAP clients to work correctly? Any advice is appreciated.
My config is below:
# 2.3.2.1 (0719df592): /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p3 amd64
# Hostname: admin.sibptus.ru
