Am tryin to move from uw-imapd to dovecot, using dovecot ver 0.99.10.4. Reading with Mozilla Mail v 1.4.
I made some test accounts and they seem to be working fine, but my older existing accounts give error messages whenever I connect or subscribe to mailboxes within them. The message that appears on the client is:
"The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Invalid mask."
it appears two or three times in an alert box (on windows) then everything seems to work.
The masks (I've put a syslog call into the code) are: "~%", "~%~%" and "~*". The test accounts I created don't have this problem.
This means Mozilla cached UW-IMAP's NAMESPACE reply and tries to ask those mailboxes from Dovecot, which doesn't support such namespaces. Easiest fix would be to recreate the Mozilla accounts. Next version will just ignore if client tries to ask invalid mailboxes.
