I'm using dovecot 1.2.11 with virtual folders. I'd like to replace my real INBOX by a virtual one but I have several questions :
- will my mail still be delivered to my real INBOX?
There are a few possibilities..
You could set !RealMails/INBOX so that saving to virtual inbox gets saved to real inbox (similar to as explained in wiki).
Enable virtual INBOX only for IMAP protocol.
- will I be able to access my real INBOX, for example using a virtual folder reliyng on INBOX
Yes, either create a virtual mailbox containing only RealMails/INBOX rule, or alternatively create some kind of a symlink to filesystem (e.g. ln -s . .real-inbox
Here's my problem, if I look to the wiki page [1], I don't really understand what the _NAMESPACE_1_INBOX_ and the _NAMESPACE_2_INBOX_ stands for.
NAMESPACE_1_INBOX=yes maps to first namespace { inbox=yes }, _2_ maps to second namespace. With v2.0 this is clearer, because you can name the namespaces and access them via names rather than numbers.
Plus, I can't put my paths in my scripts, as they use %d and %u (see below) which, if I understand correctly, aren't available for PostLoginScripts.
In post-login scripts you have access to $HOME.
