I set up a shared mailbox with dovecot and it basically works. However, before I can imap SELECT or STATUS the shared mailbox I have to first do an imap LIST, i.e,

. list "" *

If list is not done first, the imap select or status command on the shared mailbox results in a "NO" response with "mailbox doesn't exist" response text.

I can provide more information if this is not expected behavior.

Hi!

This is not expected. Please turn on mail_debug=yes, provide doveconf -n and relevant logs.

I found that if I disable the "listescape" plug-in, the problem goes away. I don't see this problem mentioned in the release notes but I guess it might have been solved in a newer release than I am using.

I did find the same problem reported a while back here: https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-February/103148.html

I am attaching the requested information: configuration dump and mail log. Also included is the telnet session I used to produce the problem.

I am only using dovecot for testing imap related issue with Thunderbird, not as a "real" imap server.
