Hi list, I have

namespace private { prefix = INBOX. separator = . inbox = yes }

in an installation migrated from courier. I am testing with Outlook Mobile 5 (OM) which uses 'LIST "" %' to get the folder list. Now courier used to return

• LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX"

whereas dovecot returns

• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX"

which is why OM failes to display any folder. Is this dovecot's failure or am I missing something here?

A shot in the dark... one thing I found when I was using Courier - to get the namespace to display correctly (ie, subfolders not showing as sub-folders of the Inbox), I had to set just 'INBOX' - no period - in Thunderbird for the namespace prefix...

Maybe experiment with that? Try just 'INBOX' without the period?

It's a bug. Fixed, sort of: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.0/rev/f92ea3eed616

I think I'll do yet another LIST rewrite for v1.1. It's unbelievably hard to get the logic right when you support multiple configurable namespaces..
