I'm using Dovecot 1.0.10 on Ubuntu 8.04, using the packages from the distro; exim4 is my MTA and it's configured according to the instructions in the wiki, everything is working fine for delivery into the Maildir INBOX via Dovecot's LDA and reading mail via IMAP using Thunderbird.
My habit on previous mail systems was to create a Lists folder and subfolders under Lists for each mailing list I subscribe to. I tried to use Dovecot sieve to sort mail into the folders with sieve filters like
require "fileinto"; if header :contains "Subject" "[NCCC]" { fileinto "Lists/NCCC"; } else { keep; }
I created Lists/NCCC via Thunderbird (so I could set the "check this folder for new mail property") but when Dovecot tries to deliver into the folder, I get the log message
msgid=<...>: Couldn't open mailbox Lists/NCCC: Invalid mailbox name
Is there some other syntax for specifying folder/subfolder names in Dovecot sieve, or do I just have to live with the folders all at the top level
Try fileinto "Lists.NCCC", the "." is the default folder separator.
It should be possible to change it to a "/" with namespaces, but it would make a cosmetic change, and judging by other posts in the list, it seems to cause a lot more trouble than benefits. :-)
