We've just converted to LAYOUT=fs. Some users had subfolders under Inbox, and for those users some MUAs no longer show those folders.

The directory structure is that the cur, tmp and new folders are in the 'location' directory, but the subfolders are in $location/INBOX/$foldername.

I am suspicious of this:

12 list "" INBOX

• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" 12 OK List completed.

I have tried moving the cur, tmp and new folders to $location/INBOX, and changing 'location' in dovecot.conf, but the subfolders still do not show.

Question: is it legitimate to have subfolders of INBOX when using LAYOUT=fs? If so, what am I missing?

Thanks, Keith
