[Dovecot] Outlook can't see namespace folders

5 Oct 2007


      Hi guys i understand that you can't subscribe to the Prefix names of
namespace folders right now with dovecot.
But for instance if i user outlook express and it can't see the prefix
name then it can't see the subfolders of that "prefix folder" either.
So even though it can detect and see the subfolders it won't display
them cause it can't see the "parent"
Is there any fix for this? it's also kind of annoying in thunderbird but
at least you can still see the subfolders.
TIA
James
