Re: [Dovecot] 1.0.alpha1: Namespaces

6 Sep 2005


      Hi,
yes I see a similar problem, I am also not able to use a / as a folder
separator. Whatever I do, dovecot seems to insist in using a dot. This
makes it impossible to set up mail to be read locally (e.g. with mutt)
and remotely, using a imap client, which is what I want to do.
Any help welcome,
Andrew

Hi,
I'm currently using 1.0.alpha1 without luck regarding a namespace
issue. Maybe it's a general understanding problem on my side, but
let's see :-)
I would like to have my mail stored in Maildir format below
~/.maildir/, which works fine so far.
I want any (sub)folders to be created like this:
~/.maildir/
/cur
/new
/tmp
/.Folder/
/cur
/new
/tmp
/.Subfolder/
/cur
/new
/tmp
BUT ;) Dovecot seems to disregard my namespace settings:
--8<--[ /etc/dovecot.conf ]--8<--
default_mail_env = maildir:~/.maildir:INDEX=MEMORY
namespace private {
separator = /
#	prefix =
#	location = maildir:~/.maildir
inbox = yes
hidden = no
}
--8<--
Every new (sub)folder I create is stored as
~/.maildir/.Folder
resp.
~/.maildir/.Folder.Subfolder
in the filesystem.
Are namespaces the right way?
Is it possible at all?
Thanks in advance.
