Hi Jan Mourik,

From the moment we have migrated to dovecot, new accounts will not be (manually) created anymore on our old server, meaning: more and more mailboxes will become unavailable on the old server.
It seems (but I have not yet done a lot of testing) that if the imapc cannot 'mount' the old mailbox, the imap process 'dies'. (that's what squirrelmail tells me)
Since you know so much... :-) Do you happen to know a way to make the imapc non-mandatory..? Like: when 'mounting' fails: simply ignore it, and proceed as normal.
Additional namespaces can be dynamically added via environment variables.
Try to add the "oldspace" namespace dynamically using PostLoginScripting http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting if an old mailbox is available for $ENV{'USER'}
