[Dovecot] Asterisks (*) in Folder Names disallowed?
As far as I can see the RFC for IMAP should allow the * character in the folder name. This is certainly allowed in UW IMAP.
Dovecot seems to object however with:
ERROR : Could not complete request. Query: COPY 9975:9975 "mail/*myfolder" Reason Given: Invalid mailbox name.
Could this restriction be lifted?
Best wishes, Daniel

It already is, I guess you're using an old version:

* src/lib-storage/index/: dbox/dbox-storage.c,
maildir/maildir-storage.c, mbox/mbox-storage.c: Allow creating
mailbox names with '*' and '%' characters. They don't break
anything anyway.Timo Sirainen wrote:

Thanks for the really fast reply!
However: host]# dovecot --version 1.0.beta9
Is'nt that the latest version? Or do i need to just update that c file?

Oh, in that case looks like I removed the other checks a bit later in
here:

* src/imap/commands-util.c: Fixes to checking if mailbox name is
valid. In case mailbox name is invalid, put it through
str_sanitize() before giving it in an error message.You could get dovecot-latest from http://dovecot.org/nightly/ or wait
a while for 1.0rc1, which I'll release soon.. I guess I should do
that already, but I'm still feeling a bit unsure if there are any
stupid bugs left :)

Well, then I think you could release 1.0rc0.5 ;o)
Thanks for your responses. Daniel
