Hi, I recently moved from courier-imap to dovecot, to be able to work with managesieve. I use version 1.2.5, on suse 10.3. I used the script to migrate the courier maildir to dovecot format. It seems to work fine except for one problem : I use a number of aliasses and with Thunderbird I can select which alias (e-mail-address) to use as my identity when sending a mail. I sniffed with wireshark, and with my standard identity, I see the message appended to "Sent", like I expect. If I use an alias, I see a folder being created : "INBOX.Sent", and then the message is appended there. Why the difference ? I'm trying to debug this but dovecot does not help much. I tried rawlog but there is no output (that I see) from it, no log-files in my maildir.
The act of copying outgoing mail to a "Sent" folder is not an automatic one - certainly not from the server's point of view. Typically, this is implemented by the mail client - in this case, Thunderbird. If you have not gone well out of your way to configure some kind of server-side script - it's going to be client-driven.
Within Thunderbird, under "Manage Identities", "Copies & Folders", you can specify the "Sent" folder to use. If using the default "Sent" folder results in a "INBOX.Sent", override the setting here and specify your correct folder.
