[Dovecot] Can't see public folder contents after renaming folder
Hi
We are using Thunderbird 2.0.0.x (Linux and Windows) with IMAP accounts against Dovecot 1.0.beta3 on Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper with Maildir.
It is all working well except when we rename a folder in the public namespace, the person who renames it can no longer see the contents of the folder. If we rename it back to the original name , the person can see the contents again.
If we delete the files in the index directory for that folder on the file system, the user can see the folder contents again.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Many thanks Rob
Relevant dovecot.conf details follow
default_mail_env = maildir:~/.Mail
namespace private { separator = / inbox = yes }
namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/home/mail/public:CONTROL=~/.Mail/control/public:INDEX=~/.Mail/index/public }
maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes umask = 0007

Upgrade? Beta3 is *very* old. So much has changed, it just doesn't make sense *not* to upgrade. Be sure to read the upgrade docs.

The public folder system didn't really start working properly until about beta9. You need to upgrade to get true public folders support.

Thanks for the help on this.
We are on Ubuntu Dapper server - and beta3 is what we get :-) We'll do a manual install of a later version.
Cheers Rob

FYI, you can use prevu to manually backport a newer version, that's
the easiest way. I'd suggest the one from gutsy. I'm using it on
feisty and it works well.
You'll have to install prevu manually, its not in the repository
until feisty. Here's a link:
Using prevu is better than manually installing, because your config
should without modification when you upgrade, and its far easier than
building from source.
