[Dovecot] Xlist in userdb, Foldernames with whitespace?
Hello,
i use dovecot 2.1.7 and exported all my XLIST FolderSettings to userdb Whole Story is here: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-March/089209.html
This is all successful, but there is one problem left.
I use lines like this to realize individual XLIST Foldernames in usedb:
namespace/inbox/mailbox=Sent namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/name=Sent namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/auto=subscribe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/special_use=\sent
My problem is to allow Foldernames with whitespace in it f.e. Sent Messages I tried to put these names in quotes in this line or mask the blank with backslash but nothing was working. Dovecot ist not accepting these settings:
dovecot: imap: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox="Sent Messages" dovecot: imap: Debug: Unknown userdb setting: plugin/namespace/inbox/mailbox/"Sent Messages"/auto=subscribe dovecot: imap: Debug: Unknown userdb setting: plugin/namespace/inbox/mailbox/"Sent Messages"/name="Sent Messages" dovecot: imap: Debug: Unknown userdb setting: plugin/namespace/inbox/mailbox/"Sent Messages"/special_use=\sent
How to code folders with whitespace etc. in my userdb settings? I tried a lot but nothing was correct.
Thanks, Hajo
Hello,
unfortunately still have the same problem. Currently i believe this is a kind of bug.
In your example here you created two mailboxes by commandlineparams: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-March/089373.html 'namespace/inbox/mailbox=foo bar'
After putting this to userdb i tried a lot of masking, quoting etc, but dovecot is always splitting up at the blank space, and a foldername with blank space like "Sent Mails" seems to be impossible in userdb. How to achieve this? This would be nice for other features separate from the xlist feature, autocreation of individual folders can be used for different purposes.
What to do now?
Thanks, Hajo

I think you don't need to use the actual mailbox name as the "id". So the above URL's command modified:
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap -o 'namespace/inbox/mailbox=foo bar' -o namespace/inbox/mailbox/foo/name="foo with spaces" -o namespace/inbox/mailbox/bar/name="bar with spaces" -o namespace/inbox/mailbox/foo/auto=create -o namespace/inbox/mailbox/bar/auto=create -o namespace/inbox/mailbox/foo/special_use=\\sent -o namespace/inbox/mailbox/bar/special_use=\\drafts
