Everything looks fine, not sure why INBOX is not working correctly :-(

I'm sort of thinking that each account has just one INBOX, which is the one from the namespace with inbox=yes. Also, IMHO, public Maildir's never have the "root" useable, it is always "grey" regardless of the INBOX-setting. I think, I've read it several times on this list. You can see the public INBOX as sub-folder, but cannot "merge" it as root.

Hello,

i already asked a similiar question some month ago but still have no fix for my problem :-(

This is my global location option in 10-mail.conf: mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/MAILDIR:INBOX=/home/vmail/%d/%n/MAILDIR/.INBOX:INDEX=/home/vmail/%d/%n/INDEX/

This works fine, until i'm using a public namespace.

The following namespace is a normal user too, every mail to bos@foo.eu is stored in /home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/MAILDIR (within the INBOX-folder) and this directory is used for the location of the namespace.

Config: namespace { type = public separator = / prefix = BOS/ location = maildir:/home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/MAILDIR:INBOX=/home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/MAILDIR/.INBOX:INDEX=/home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/S_INDEX:INDEXPVT=/home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/S_INDEXPVT/%u subscriptions = yes }

The namespace itself works fine and without a problem, but the INBOX folder is the main problem. Mail users agents like Thunderbird now shows a folder structure like:

BOS (grey, not useable)

• INBOX (the .INBOX folder)
• Other folder 1
• Other folder 2
• Other folder 3

The INBOX-config works fine for every single user, but it don't work on namespaces? Is this a bug?

Thanks

Dieter

Is there really no way with a symlink or something like that? Not sure if i can configure the root path in clients like Thunderbird...

I tested the following:

cd /home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/MAILDIR ln -s .INBOX/* .

• -> BOS becomes selectable, actually the LIST response changes from:

• LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." BOS

• -to-

• LIST (\HasChildren) "." BOS

You have "INBOX" still, but my version of Thunderbird does not select "BOS", because it tries to select "BOS.BOS".

mkdir .BOS chown ... .BOS cd .BOS ln -s ../{do*,new,cur,tmp} .

makes BOS selectable for Thunderbird, but now you have 3 INBOXes ... .
