I just installed dovecot 0.99.10.6 and I'm trying to use symlinks for subfolders. I have my mail in ~/Maildir and I want to make symlinks such as from .Sent to ~/Mail/Sent. All of these folders are maildir and the permissions are correct.

I've searched the list and I cannot find anything stating that it should not work. In fact I've seen posts that claim it should work. However, it does not work for me and looking at maildir-list.c around line 101, it appears that it is only checking for directories and not for links.

I'm doing this because I have it setup so I can use mutt directly against the maildir folders and so IMAP will work against them. It's worked great for over a year but I want to move it to a different machine and I wanted to switch from courier-imap to dovecot.

Can anyone confirm that it works or not? Any ideas on how to address this issue?

Thanks, Kevin
