[Dovecot] Upgrading from 1.2.8 to 2.0.6: INBOX not selectable in Thubderbird (greyed and italic)
I recently upgraded from 1.2.8 to 2.0.6, I am using Maildir, and Thunderbird is showing the INBOX grayed out and in italics, and does not show new messages in it (it shows messages previously downloaded). This occurs when Thunderbird is restarted (if I upgrade dovecot, TB keeps working fine until I shut it down, and at next startup it greys out the inbox). All the subfolders of INBOX work fine. Accessing with horde+imp webmail works fine. I'm using TB 3.1.6
After some traffic capturing, The first difference I see in the IMAP exchange is the answer to
6 list "" "INBOX"
Which for 1.2.8 is: LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX"
and for 2.0.6 is: LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "INBOX"
Of course for the same user and same maildir. I enabled tb-extra-mailbox-sep in 2.0, but it doesn't appear to differ (I don't really think it should).
Any help will be very much appreciated. My 1.2.8 config for the namespaces is:
namespace private { prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir }
namespace public { prefix = shared. location = maildir:/usr/local/shared list = yes subscriptions = no }
And the config for 2.0.6 is the same with new syntax:
namespace { type = private prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir }
namespace { type = public prefix = shared. location = maildir:/usr/local/shared list = yes subscriptions = no }

What errors are in your Tbird Activity Manager? Those may be helpful.
Note that the auto update for 3.1.6 was just a day or two ago. Is the update a factor or merely coincidence? Upgrading a server component as client component simultaneously is a recipe for disaster WRT troubleshooting problems: the proverbial finger pointing.

Yeah, that's wrong.
And the config for 2.0.6 is the same with new syntax:
What about full doveconf -n output? I couldn't reproduce with just those namespace settings.
