[Dovecot] Courier Migration

7 Sep 2007


      Hi
Is it legal/sensible to use the following in the conf file
# default namespace
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
inbox = yes
}
# for backwards compatibility:
namespace private {
separator = .
prefix = INBOX.
inbox = yes
hidden = yes
}
The goal would be to migrate away from an Courier server, whilst still
supporting clients using their old settings, but going forward they can
use the new settings?
In particular I always noticed that OE would not set the namespace
automatically, so being able to leave it blank would be an advantage
(fewer config issues for customers)
Grateful if someone could confirm this works ok?  Compatibility issues
with Thunderbird/OE/Outlook 2003+ in particular?
Cheers
