You can try doing this:

protocol imap {

  rawlog_dir = %h/rawlogs

}

then make directory under user's homedir called rawlogs and chmod 0777 it.

Then try, you should end up with lots of files that are full of chatter between the client & server, maybe it gives you more indication what goes wrong.

Dear Colleagues,

I have a fairly vanilla setup of dovecot on FreeBSD, serving IMAP and POP3. Thunderbird/IMAP works fine, and so does mutt/IMAP.

However, Android clients (Gmail/IMAP and K-9 Mail) have problems accessing folders other than the INBOX. They either show them empty with no mails (K-9) or just wait forever to view the contents (Gmail app).

Do I need to set up some workarounds or hacks in dovecot for Android IMAP clients to work correctly? Any advice is appreciated.

My config is below:
