Dovecot seems to open extra namespaces
Dear all,
I am slightly confused by the following log entries
...: imap(...): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/Maildir ...: imap(...): Debug: maildir++: root=~/Maildir, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=~/Maildir, alt= ...: imap(...): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=no, hidden=yes, list=no, subscriptions=no location=fail::LAYOUT=none ...: imap(...): Debug: none: root=, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt=
It seems that Dovecot opens two different namespaces, despite only one being configured in 10-mail.conf/15-mailboxes.conf. Is this normal and intended? Further, what is the purpose of the line starting with 'none'?
Best regards,
Thorsten
Dovecot version: 2.2.26.0 on Debian Jessie

Check out doveconf -a, you will see two namespace definitions, one
namespace inbox {
and the 2nd one
namespace {
Name equally.

Hi Steffen,
that is not the problem
# doveconf -a | grep -i namespace namespace inbox {

You have a prefix=INBOX. configured.

Since you didn't configure an empty-prefix namespace, Dovecot autocreates one for you. It's not actually accessible. Only used for making Dovecot's internal life easier and provide errors if you try to access it.
Thanks for the clarification, this makes sense now.
