Hi all
I'm using dovecot 1.0.rc15 to serve a maildir by IMAP.
I have an IMAP subdirectory called subscriptions. The messages are in maidir/.subscriptions/cur/ etc.
Dovecot is renaming the directory .subscriptions/ to subscriptions/
This means that when my IMAP client requests this directory, it gets the message "no such directory", and dovecot also gives the error message:
dovecot: IMAP(tcv): read() failed with subscription file /var/mail/maildir/tcv/subscriptions: Is a directory
The two should be able to live happily side by side, with the subscriptions file called "subscriptions" and the maildir called ".subsciptions".
The offending function is
maildir_subscriptions_convert_099()
in src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.c
Can someone with developer access please change this so that rename() is not called if subscriptions is a directory.
That only solves the problem for your particular setup. What with mbox installations? Call it .subscriptions again? And what with mixed maildir+mbox installations? How should a folder named "subscriptions" be called there?
