After these changes, snarfing doesn't work for me, either straight or UW optional style. Either way I try it, when I connect, it creates an empty ~/mbox file but does not snarf my inbox into it. My mail client (thunderbird) doesn't see any messages at all in my inbox. I remove the snarf namespace and change my mail_location back and my inbox is, of course, back. Note that I have all the UW compatibility namespaces in there.
I was hoping to get a quick resolution to this; hopefully something I'm doing wrong. I'm hoping to put dovecot in production tonight. ;-)
I thought I was getting closer, but...
From looking at the logs, I see that other plugins are loaded in the imap service (quotas for example). So, I added 'snarf' to my mail plugins.
protocol imap { ... mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota snarf ... }
Once I do that, I see that the plugin does load. And now it no longer creates an ~/mbox if it doesn't first exist. Then again, it now panics, so perhaps that is happening before getting to the point of creating the ~/mbox file. Since the panic is happening just after reference to .../var/run/dovecot/empty, I'm wondering if it has something to do with that directory.
