Re: [Dovecot] INBOX protected foldername?

Hello,

[...] In higher dovecot versions INBOX seems to be a kind of protected foldername. dovecot is not offering this folder in folderlist. If i rename it, the folder is available again. [...]

Is there an explaination for this behaviour?

Hello Hajo,

From RFC 3501:

The case-insensitive mailbox name INBOX is a special name reserved to
mean "the primary mailbox for this user on this server".  The
interpretation of all other names is implementation-dependent.

IIRC, several changes have been brought to Dovecot's code wrt the handling of that "inbox" name.

HTH, Axel
