Automatically subscribe to the INBOX folder

10 Apr 2017


      Hello,
I am using the ‘auto = subscribe’ feature in the mailbox configuration
section in the usual fashion (as shown in conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf):
namespace inbox {
inbox = yes
mailbox Drafts {
special_use = \Drafts
auto = subscribe
}
...
}
When I connect to an account with the Thunderbird mail client, those
mailboxes/folders get autocreated and autosubscribed. Good!
INBOX, however, does not get subscribed to automatically. When I look at
the account’s subscriptions in Thunderbird, all folders are subscribed,
except INBOX.
How can I enable autosubscribe for the INBOX folder (like the other
folders)? Is there an option for this? This is in Dovecot 2.2.22.
Cheers,
David
