Hello,
I've been using the dovecot 1.2.x branch server software for a
while now. With the advent of the 2.0.x branch going 'stable' I
decided to attempt a migration and make use of some of the features
that I've not needed before. One of these is the shared
folder/namespace feature. No luck. I've hit a wall and can not
determine the problem. At the moment it looks like a bug to me,
but it may well be that I'm missing some related configuration, or
file permission.
I can not get the %% variable expansion in a namespace to work.
What I end up with, on an IMAP connection is a directory named, for
instance, '%h'. The same goes for any of the %% variables used at
this point. My current set-up is 'not' the same as the current
setup and I'm using virtual users that are not 'live' on the
current system.
I would really appreciate it if someone could cast an eye over my
config and let me know if I've missed something obvious.
Thanks.
Kenneth Cope
