Today I upgraded to dovecot 1.0 rc1 (before I was using a 1.0 beta, as it had functions no one else had), the beta worked fairly well, no crashes, and the bugs were few and far between. I had a few issues with thunderbird 1.5, so I decided to upgrade.
My problem is this, before, I had configured procmail to deliver SPAM to a subdirectory of the users home directory, (not mail/) and everything worked fine, new directories were creatable, and IMP seemed to be happy with everything as it was.
With the new version though, dovecot refuses to see the folders in the base of the home directory, and all of this with absolutely no change to my conf file (except for the passdb and userdb options).
my dovecot.conf file looks like this:
default_mail_env = mbox:/ha/home/%u:INBOX=/ha/mail/%u:INDEX=/ha/home/%u
ha is my drbd directory, for high availability.
I've tried modifying the private namespaces, but without much luck, and I'm really not looking forward to moving all those folders to under the mail/ directory.
Do I have any other options??
thanks, Nick

That's the problem actually. If you have defined namespaces but haven't set location-field in them, Dovecot should have defaulted to default_mail_env but instead it uses autodetection with rc1. Already fixed in CVS, and rc2 should come today.

Ok then, I'll let you know how the upgrade goes!

A question, I installed earlier from an RPM, is it possible to specify a command line option to have dovecot installed in a specific directory ie; not /usr/local ?
If you install from source, just:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/dovecot-1.0rc1
I use this a lots to test new release with the possibilitie to switch back if i have som problem.

Hello nick,

It depends. When installing from an RPM archive, there is IMO no means to do what you want, but when installing from source you can define a prefix with the ./configure. Have a look at what "./configure --help" tells you.

Ok, I'm now on 1.0 rc2, and I can finally see the files in the base of the user directory..
I have to ask though, is there a way to filter out the files displayed?
when I look at my .subscriptions file, I see only the folders that I want, but in both IMP and thunderbird 1.5 I see every file present in my directory?
I wish things hadn't been set up in this manner, but I unfortunately inherited a server, so I have to work with the cards I've been dealt..
Is this something that isn't working in the clients, or the server?
Who is exactly responsible for serving up (or displaying) the the contents of the .subscriptions file?
Thanks for all the help,
Nick
Aupa!

In thunderbird, Account Settings -> Server Settings -> Advanced -> Show only subscribed folders
Anyway, .subscriptions is subscriptions now
Aaaaaaaaaagur.

Doh!
Changed that when I didn't see the folders with rc1...
Thanks for the clue stick.

I'm still using .mbox for the moment, so .subscriptions is valid, and now, understanding that it's a client problem, I've found the option in imp also...
if you care, Options > Server Information > Use IMAP folder subscriptions.
Aaaaaaaaaagur.
Auguri? :)
