[Dovecot] Public Namespace and INBOX
Hello,
i added a existing MAILDIR as a Public Namespace and i can subscribe to this Namespace without a problem.
I can access every folder except the INBOX. Thunderbird just shows a GREY "INBOX".
Is there any way to access the INBOX of a maildir?
Thanks Dieter Knopf

I'm really confused at the number of people who ask questions like this without providing their configuration.
Do you people think everyone here has a crystal ball?

Sorry.
Config is: namespace inbox { type = private separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } namespace { type = public separator = / prefix = FOO/ location = maildir:/home/vmail/ foo.eu/info/MAILDIR:INDEX=/home/vmail/foo.eu/info/S_INDEX:INDEXPVT=/home/vmail/foo.eu/info/S_INDEXPVT/%u subscriptions = no }
I can subscribe to anything but the FOO/ folder is empty (Mailbox doesn't exist FOO/FOO)
It works with a custom INBOX (mail_location = .....INBOX=.../.INBOX/", then i can subscribe to INBOX, but it would be nice if the PREFIX-Folder shows the INBOX.
Thanks Dieter

Please search the list, I'm 80% sure that I've read the same question some weeks back and Timo answered that.

This is a symptom of a folder not existing, but folders beneath it existing. For example, I filter Debian Bug mails into INBOX\Bugs\$BugNumber. There is no INBOX\Bugs folder, so it shows up greyed.
If you have a greyed out INBOX, then either you've made a mistake in your config or perhaps there's an issue with the mailbox itself. Can you access the maildir as a private namespace?

Hello,
sure, it's a standard virtual mailbox, INBOX is working fine. I just used the same directory for a PUBLIC namespace.
Thanks

If you don't get it to work, fake an INBOX by symlinking cur/new/tmp into ".INBOX". It's not the nice, but should work.
