folders in public namespace only visable to 2nd folder level in 2.2.29.1
Hi all,
I am currently facing an issue with Dovevot version 2.2.29.1 where subfolders in a public namespace are only visible to the 2nd folder level:
namespace Public -> folder "1st" -> folder -> "2nd" -> folder "3rd" ....
When one user creates a subfolder below the 2nd level other users do not see that folder and are unable to subscribe to this folder. Folders created under the 1st level however are visible and subscribable by other users.
namespace { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children type = public separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/var/vmail/public:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/public subscriptions = no }
I do not know at which point ( dovecot update ) this issue appeared.
Does anyone face the same problem ?
Thank you for your kind help
best regards Andreas

Hi all,
I have just recognized that there seems to be something wrong with the per user seen flag indexes. In the dovecot log file I get a lot of those errors:
Error: /var/vmail/domain/someuser/Maildir/public/.test.2nd /dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent Error: /var/vmail/domain/someuser/Maildir/public/.test.2nd/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent
Error: /var/vmail/domain/someuser/Maildir/public/.test.2nd.3rd /dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent Error: /var/vmail/domain/someuser/Maildir/public/.test.2nd.3rd/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent
....
Could this be the cause of the issue ? How can this be fixed ?
Thank you for your kind help

Hi!
The second level issue is because thunderbird has a bug. You can see the third level and so on in subscribe view by closing and opening the 2nd level.

Hello Aki,
thank you for the tip. I have tried with another mail client and could see and subscribe to the subfolders in the public namespace without any problem. Hope that Thunderbird gets fixed soon.
However, I still see a lot of those index errors in the log file. Any idea how to fix that ?
Thank you for your kind help.

I have the same issue.
My observations are:
- this only happens with shared/public folders
- this only happens if the directory is empty
So in your example this would mean the public mailbox "test/2nd" has never had any emails in it.
My workaround is: Put an email into the mailbox and delete it. This fixes the "view is inconsistent" error permanently for this folder.
Hopefully this description is of any help to the devs, so that this can be fixed directly in dovecot.

view is now inconsistent
Same problem here. I posted it months ago in this list, and still waiting for comments or solution. The many upgrades did not help either. Given the lack of response from the list, this is either an ages-old problem that everybody has and has learned to ignore, or a configuration problem that one ought to solve by simply following the manual. No, the manual did not help.
