[Dovecot] namespace subscription problem
Greetings,
I am trying to setup a private namespace in dovecot and running in to some troubles. Here is my setup:
default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir
# default namespace namespace private { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes } namespace private { separator = . prefix = maillog. location = maildir:/var/maildir/maillog/Maildir/ #inbox = yes hidden = no } So far it's working to a degree. When I load my imap folder and go to Subscribe, I can see the master "maillog" folder, and expand it to see all the subfolders. The problem is, I cannot subscribe to the master "maillog" folder. Only it's sub folders.
When I check dovecot.info it says this:
dovecot: 2007-01-31 13:27:42 Info: imap(nate): Namespace: type=private, prefix=maillog., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=no, subscriptions=no
I see there "subscriptions=no". Is it possible to change this to yes? Would changing this to yes allow me to subscribe to the actual namespace folder? I tried adding "subscriptions=yes" and "subscription=yes" to dovecot.conf but both entries resulted in failed starts and errors.
How is it possible allow subscriptions directly to this namespace?
Thanks.

That's because there is no maillog folder. It's your namespace prefix. I guess I'll fix this one day, but for now it's not possible (and not that easy to fix).
You could try if creating a dummy ".maillog" directory into ~/Maildir would make it work.
Understood, that makes sense. I tried making a .maillog folder but it didn't show up in subscriptions. I still saw the namespace maillog. I then tried manually upating my subscriptions file, but now I see a collapsable maillog folder with no data inside of it.
So I guess that's not possible either.
