Hi,

about an year ago i was reporting a bug in mailbox aliases, which
remains unfixed and unasnwered (probably totally ignored, don't
understand why). I thought it was because the bug is old and
already fixed but yesterday i upgraded to Dovecot 2.2.24 and
problem persists.

Here is the original report, everything, except the Dovecot
version, is still correct: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2015-June/101176.html

Will this be fixed? Thanks for info.

Do you have mailbox_list_index=yes? That's at least buggy with
aliases and the fix isn't easy.

Yes, i have. Do i need to disable it? What impact will it have?

For mailbox aliases to work, yes. It will stop using index file for mailbox lists, which can slightly degrade performance.

Hm, i didn't like this very much :( How big will the degrade be? Is
this only temporary limitation of aliases, which will be fixed in the
future (as it's not stated in the docs) or permanent drawback?
