[Dovecot] INBOX cant be created
Inbox does not exists on disk, but following command sequence will not create it.
2 select INBOX 2 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX 3 create INBOX 3 NO [ALREADYEXISTS] Mailbox already exists: INBOX
i think its bug
doveadm does not works too:
sudo doveadm mailbox create -u admin INBOX doveadm(admin): Error: Can't create mailbox INBOX: Permission denied sudo doveadm mailbox create -u admin INBOX.2 (works)
doveadm(admin): Error: Can't create mailbox INBOX: Permission denied
The INBOX exists but has a wrong owner.

The INBOX exists but has a wrong owner. nope ponto# cd /var/mail ponto# mv admin/ admin.X ponto# doveadm mailbox create -u admin INBOX doveadm(admin): Error: Can't create mailbox INBOX: Permission denied
but it might be that ordinary user admin cant create directories in /var/mail message from IMAP reply is wrong for sure because mailbox does not exists:
ponto# cd /var/mail ponto# mv admin admin.x ponto# telnet localhost imap 3 select inbox 3 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX 4 create INBOX 4 NO [ALREADYEXISTS] Mailbox already exists: INBOX

get into the maildir folder and use: ls -la to see all the directories and permissions. it might be with a starting "." what will make it "invisible" to regular ls.
