Is there a way to change the name of the .subscriptions file that dovecot looks for to .mailboxlist to be compatible with WU-IMAP? It would be handy for testing and conversion if you had that.

BTW - I'm a new user and your software is very well designed.

From http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/Migration :-

You can either rename your ".mailboxlist" file to ".subscriptions" for all you users, or change the definition of SUBSCRIPTION_FILE_NAME in src/lib-storage/subscription-file/subscription-file.c. In 1.0-test, this value is defined in src/lib-storage/subscription-fileindex/maildir/maildir-storage.h and src/lib-storage/subscription-fileindex/mbox/maildir-storage.h.

If you're using folder prefixes and hidden namespaces, note that UW-IMAP will store entries in the subscription file including the prefix, but Dovecot won't.

We've patched this and also changed the location of the subscription file to be the same directory as the indexes, which is why I forgot it from my dotfile exclusions :)

Best Wishes, Chris
