[Dovecot] Multiple Folders Continually Auto-Created
I've had reports of a number of clients running Outlook 2011 on Mac where they have quite a few folders with the same name appended by multiple "1"s. So far I've only narrowed it down to Outlook 2011 on Mac. We've been in the process of migrating to sdbox on a new server from maildir using dsync backup.
Example folder structure:
INBOX INBOX 1 INBOX 1 1 INBOX 1 1 1 INBOX 1 1 1 1 INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 1 INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Junk Junk 1 Junk 1 1 Junk 1 1 1 Junk 1 1 1 1 Junk 1 1 1 1 1 Junk 1 1 1 1 1 1 Junk 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Junk 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
and so on for "Sent Messages", etc.
Seems that the the default folders for these clients are getting created over and over again, each time with a new "1" at the end.
Anybody else see this? I'm digging for a client I can troubleshoot with and reproduce with me watching.
Thanks,

Enable rawlog for the user to see what Outlook does: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog
sdbox has some minor differences in how the folder listing works, but since these are root level folders I don't think that's relevant.
What Dovecot version are you using? Are you autocreating any folders on Dovecot side?
I'm on 2.2.4 and don't auto-create any folders. I'll try rawlog if I can figure out how to reproduce it. I tried Outlook 2011 on my mac connecting to a duplicate of one of the original problem users and unable to get it to reproduce. Thanks for the suggestion.
