[Dovecot] problems upgrade 2.0 - 2.1 virtual inbox broken / special use namespace

15 Apr 2012

      Hi Timo
the virtual setup got broke after update to 2.1
( its still working under 2.0 ) on other loadbalanced server
namespace default {
separator = /
prefix = ""
list = yes
subscriptions = yes
hidden = no
}
namespace virtual {
prefix = "virtual/"
separator = /
location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++:INDEX=~/virtual
hidden = yes
list = no
subscriptions= no
}
namespace real {
prefix = "RealMails/"
separator = /
list = no
hidden = yes
}
after upgrade  i have
Error: Couldn't open INBOX: Virtual mailbox open failed because of
mailbox <hidden>/RealMails/: Invalid mailbox name

also
i wanted
to include
namespace inbox {
#mailbox name {
# auto=create will automatically create this mailbox.
# auto=subscribe will both create and subscribe to the mailbox.
#auto = no
# Space separated list of IMAP SPECIAL-USE attributes as specified by
# RFC 6154: \All \Archive \Drafts \Flagged \Junk \Sent \Trash
#special_use =
#}
# These mailboxes are widely used and could perhaps be created
automatically:
mailbox Drafts {
special_use = \Drafts
}
mailbox Junk {
special_use = \Junk
}
mailbox Trash {
special_use = \Trash
}
# For \Sent mailboxes there are two widely used names. We'll mark both of
# them as \Sent. User typically deletes one of them if duplicates are
created.
mailbox Sent {
special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox "Sent Messages" {
special_use = \Sent
}
# If you have a virtual "All messages" mailbox:
mailbox virtual/All {
special_use = \All
}
# If you have a virtual "Flagged" mailbox:
mailbox virtual/Flagged {
special_use = \Flagged
}
}
but i found no working namespace combination with virtual
