Hey guys,
I'm wondering what the best way is to be backwards compatible with
Courier mailbox formats and not duplicate mailbox trees with Dovecot.
Is anyone doing this right now?My Dovecot 2.0.13 is configured as follows for Namespaces:
namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = .
Perhaps use '/' separator.
} namespace { hidden = yes inbox = no list = no location = prefix = INBOX. separator = .
Add "alias_for = " here. I also added it to wiki2.
}
So I should have an INBOX, plus additional root folders - rather than
the Courier default of all folders being subfolders of the INBOX.So when I run LIST in IMAP I get - 08 LIST "" %
- LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX"
INBOX.% now matches both INBOX. namespace's mailboxes, and also the INBOX mailbox's children. If you change the separator to '/', there's a difference between INBOX.% (compatibility namespace) and INBOX/% (INBOX's children).
