[Dovecot] Reading Mutt mboxes from Thunderbird
Hi, I'm a user of Mutt, and before moving to Thunderbird I'm trying to share mboxes between them. To do this, I installed Dovecot to create an IMAP server in my local machine, to serve mutt mboxes to be read by Thunderbird.
So far, I can read my inbox from /var/mail/%u, but in mutt, I have many folders in ~/mail, like 2010-mails, 2011-mails, mailing-list-x, mailing-list-y, and so on. How can I configure Dovecot to read them?.
In /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf I have this:
mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, and Dovecot 2.0.13.

~/mail vs. ~/Mail?

Are you sure, dovecot does not read them, or are you just not "seeing" your folders in thunderbird? Please try to right click your INBOX and "subscribe" to the folders. On serverside, the subscribed folders are listed in $mail_location/subscriptions, so you might auto-generate this file by listing your mutt mailboxes.

You are right!, I just had to subscribe to the folders.
