Hi,
I've got an old dovecot installation (0.99.10.5) which is used as the back-end for a squirrelmail web mailer. Now I need to decide whether to update it to a newer version of dovecot or to switch to a different software.
One feature that I really need is to be able to place messages and subfolders in a folder at the same time. This is with mbox format files (I can't use maildir). The old version of dovecot doesn't seem to support that, you can have either subfolders or messages in a folder, but not both.
Does the current version 1.1.3 support it?
Best regards Oliver

You can't do that with mbox in any version of dovecot, and I don't think you can do that in any other IMAP or POP3 server that I know of. IMHO if you want messages and sub-folders in the same folder you will need maildir or maybe dbox when it is 100% stable.
