Ah, oddly, got it working with 'INBOX'. Mail.app was fine, it's only
the iPhone that required it.

Hi,

anyone using their Dovecot server with an iPhone ? While the iPhone is able to see the Inbox, I can't get it to see the other folder. I have tried ~/Maildir, /home/ed/Maildir and Maildir as the IMAP prefix but to no avail. Anything I am overlooking ?

The prefix should be empty. I guess you've tried that it works with other clients? Post your dovecot -n output?

I guess you had configured Dovecot to use "INBOX." namespace. It's probably a bug in Dovecot then: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.0/rev/f92ea3eed616

I'll second the need/bug/fix, an employee handed me an iPhone on Monday to get hooked up to Dovecot 1.0.1 over IMAP/SSL. We run Dovecot in Courier-IMAP namespace mode, I had to find the advanced section of the iPhone Mail (labeled IMAP Prefix?) and add INBOX. to it.

On a good note, it works very well - sent, drafts, folders and SSL are all humming along for him.
