Re: [Dovecot] Namespace Problems
Hi all,
after an update from dovecot beta version to 1.0.0.-1 today morning I had different effects: thunderbird-, kmail-, Apple-clients, pine and squirrelmail could receive email correct with imaps. But not MSOutlook!!! Varying the namespace configurations in dovecot.conf I got different results with MSOutlook working but with thunderbird, squirrelmail etc. all folders are displayed but not the root Inbox etc. Its important to know that I migrated from courier-imap to dovecot.
My well working namespace config BEFORE upgrade to 1.0.0-1:
Here my actual namespace configs:
namespace private { separator = prefix = INBOX. inbox = no hidden = no } namespace private { separator = / prefix = INBOX/ inbox = no hidden = yes } namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes hidden = yes }
Try it using only one namespace which matches what you are really doing. With 1.0 this works for me with all clients I've tried, including Apple.
namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes hidden = no }
In varying inbox and hidden keywords I found this configuration. Most things are working with this but in squirrelmal I can't access inbox, the main folder.
How do I have to configure that everythings works satisfying??
dovecot.conf and dovecot-sql.conf I send in the attachment.
instead of sending dovecot.conf, next time use dovecot -n

Many thanks, its working fine with your suggestion. But only with outlook I still have problems. Today morning I found out that outlook does work only I keep the separator line empty with
namespace private { # separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes hidden = no }
But the result isn't satisfying. Outlook means it cannont connect to server after connection was established, timeouts, goes in offline modus etc.

Umm. The default is '.' with maildir, so it should make no difference between setting it to '.' and leaving it as default.
You can check yourself what the mailbox listing looks like:
telnet localhost 143 x login username password 1 namespace 2 list "" *
