Re: [Dovecot] doveadm mailbox list shows file system directories as mailboxes

Hello. In our dovecvot we use mbox format with the default filesystem layout. Therefore it is not possible to have mailboxes which are subfolders of
other mailboxes containing messages. The command "doveadm mailbox list" includes the file system
directories, that contain only subfolders, as normal mailboxes in the
output:

archiv archiv/daemon archiv/dovecot

Did I miss something in the dovecot configuration or is there a bug in
the command "doveadm mailbox list"?

It's more like a feature.. For example if there exists "archiv" directory without children, I don't think it should be invisible in the list. Maybe there could be a new parameter to hide \Noselect mailboxes.
