Hi,

I'm using version 1.0.13 of dovecot. I know it's somewhat dated, but that's the latest that Debian etch offers, and I would like to avoid compiling by myself if possible.

dovecot is not creating the 'maildirfolder' in folders that are created via IMAP. Looking at the NEWS file, this was implemented in v1.0.rc7, so my version should have that working already. Is there anything else that needs to be done?

I haven't touched that code for a long time. I just tested with 1.0.15 and it is created correctly. There isn't really anything in configuration that should break it either.. Well, you could always see if it gets created manually:

telnet localhost 143 x login user pass y create testbox

And then check again for sure that there's no maildirfolder in /home/vmail/%d/%n/INBOX/.testbox/

I've made this test, and found out that the maildirfolder is created if there is no dovecot-shared file in INBOX/. But if there is, then it does not get created.

If there really isn't, you could see if strace shows something useful. Before the testbox creation run "strace -p <pid of imap process>" and post the output.

I've done that, and apparently dovecot isn't even trying to create the maildirfolder file: Process 32277 attached - interrupt to quit gettimeofday({1214144259, 856957}, {240, 0}) = 0 gettimeofday({1214144259, 856996}, NULL) = 0 epoll_wait(4, {}, 3, 7450) = 0 gettimeofday({1214144267, 306066}, {240, 0}) = 0 gettimeofday({1214144267, 306107}, NULL) = 0 epoll_wait(4, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=135105032, u64=135105032}}}, 3, 10000) = 1 gettimeofday({1214144272, 528408}, {240, 0}) = 0 read(0, "4 create test3\n", 4096) = 15 setsockopt(1, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [1], 4) = 0 stat64("/home/vmail/kalinowski.com.br/test/INBOX/.test3", 0xbf9350ac) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/home/vmail/kalinowski.com.br/test/INBOX/dovecot-shared", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0640, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 umask(027) = 077 mkdir("/home/vmail/kalinowski.com.br/test/INBOX/.test3/cur", 0777) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) mkdir("/home/vmail/kalinowski.com.br/test/INBOX/.test3", 0777) = 0 mkdir("/home/vmail/kalinowski.com.br/test/INBOX/.test3/cur", 0777) = 0 mkdir("/home/vmail/kalinowski.com.br/test/INBOX/.test3/new", 0777) = 0 stat64("/home/vmail/kalinowski.com.br/test/INBOX/.test3/tmp", 0xbf93505c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) mkdir("/home/vmail/kalinowski.com.br/test/INBOX/.test3/tmp", 0777) = 0 chown32("/home/vmail/kalinowski.com.br/test/INBOX/.test3/cur", -1, 8) = 0 chown32("/home/vmail/kalinowski.com.br/test/INBOX/.test3/new", -1, 8) = 0 chown32("/home/vmail/kalinowski.com.br/test/INBOX/.test3/tmp", -1, 8) = 0 open("/home/vmail/kalinowski.com.br/test/INBOX/.test3/dovecot-shared", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0640) = 7 umask(077) = 027 fchown32(7, -1, 8) = 0 close(7) = 0 write(1, "4 OK Create completed.\r\n", 24) = 24 setsockopt(1, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [0], 4) = 0 gettimeofday({1214144272, 529943}, NULL) = 0 epoll_wait(4, {}, 3, 4777) = 0 gettimeofday({1214144277, 305725}, {240, 0}) = 0 gettimeofday({1214144277, 305758}, NULL) = 0 epoll_wait(4, {}, 3, 1) = 0 gettimeofday({1214144277, 306737}, {240, 0}) = 0 gettimeofday({1214144277, 306767}, NULL) = 0 epoll_wait(4, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=135105032, u64=135105032}}}, 3, 10000) = 1 gettimeofday({1214144279, 474945}, {240, 0}) = 0 read(0, "", 4081) = 0 write(2, "\1IConnection closed\n", 20) = 20 epoll_ctl(4, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, 0, {0, {u32=135105032, u64=135105032}}) = 0 close(0) = 0 close(1) = 0 epoll_ctl(4, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, 2, {0, {u32=135099264, u64=135099264}}) = 0 munmap(0xb7f68000, 10336) = 0 munmap(0xb7e27000, 39884) = 0 close(3) = 0 epoll_ctl(4, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, 5, {0, {u32=135099168, u64=135099168}}) = 0 close(5) = 0 close(6) = 0 close(4) = 0 exit_group(0) = ?
