Have given up on getting the global virtual config for now, and am trying to setup the virtual mailboxes for just my user account. Basically, it's behaving exactly as it did when I was trying to use a global config. This, and the lack of errors, is causing me to think that it is something odd in my install as opposed to a configuration issue (full doveconf -n at end)

# cat .virtual.unread/dovecot-vitual # ~/Maildir/virtual/.day/dovecot-virtual * unseen # doveadm mailbox list -u kremels | grep virt virtual.unread virtual.month virtual.day virtual #
Again, the "virtual" mailbox shows up, it contains three mailboxes (day, month, unread), and all are empty.
I've added :LAYOUT=maildir++ in the location but I also tried using the "fs" layout and just creating folders under ~/Maildir/virtual, but results where the same. I've read https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual many times and I feel I must be missing something, but no idea what and with no errors it's proving impossible for me to figure it out.
