Package: dovecot-imapd Version: 0.99.10.4-2 Severity: normal
When accessing a maildir with "all folders" instead of "only subscribed folders", dovecot wrongfully reports its index-files (.imap.*) as mail folders. When the client (KMail 1.5.2 in my case) checks for email, it aborts halfway with the message:
Unable to get information about folder imap.index. The server replied: Internal error [2003-12-15 23:53:05]
I noticed the same thing with the .subscription-file, but that seems to have disappeared after a reinstall of dovecot*. Squirrelmail, which only checks subscribed folders, has no problems.
The problem started with the last upgrade from 0.99.10.4-1 to -2. -1 was working fine. I am using Debian GNU/Linux unstable (fully updated) with kernel 2.4.18-686.
I don't think the problem was caused by the upgrade as I only changed one Debian dependency.
I am Cc'ing the Dovecot mailing list to see if the developer or anyone else has some insight into this.
