[Dovecot] evolution - folders not displayed correctly
Hello,
First, I used thunderbird, and everything looks great. I tried my account in evolution and all the folders appear in one level and not in several as they were in thunderbird.
Inbox Inbox.foo Inbox.bar
instead of Inbox foo bar
What could be the problem? Thanks!

You're using mbox I guess? If you had set namespace prefix to "Inbox." in thunderbird, I guess it created all mailboxes with "Inbox." prefix. Solution would be to remove the Inbox-prefix from thunderbird and rename all mailboxes, or to set Inbox-prefix to Evolution as well.

Actually, I had a later email to the list better explaining my setup. This is using maildir.

Hmm. Try:
telnet localhost 143 x login username password x list "" *
And copy&paste here what it says?

Well, some of your mailboxes are with INBOX. prefix and some not. I don't think Evolution still should name them as "Inbox.Bellevue" though.. Anyway, how about removing the inbox-prefixes from all mail clients and renaming them so that they don't contain the INBOX-prefix? :)

What should be the proper format for directories? If I do an ls -la in ~/Maildir, what should I see for subfolders?
is Inbox.foo not correct? I used yammc.pl to convert my files from mbox to maildir so Evolution didn't create them. Mozilla displays them fine. In fact, if I try to create a subfolder under Inbox in evolution, I get 'Generic Error'.

No, "foo" mailbox should be in "~/Maildir/.foo/" directory.

That's most likely because you have "Inbox." namespace prefix set in Mozilla's configuration.

Hmm. Don't know about that..
