Hi Steffen,

sorry, in this case "duplicate" means that users have two folders in webmail (Roundcube) with same content.

I did not tried to move messages between folders yte.

I confirm that on previous server, this was Dovecot's settings:

namespace { type = private separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes }

After migration to new server (as I said I copied spool at filesystem level), I noticed that namespace settings was different:

namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = }

So, I used "INBOX" prefix:

namespace { type = private separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes }

and restarted Dovecot, but it seems I created lots of issues..

Now I restored the original configuration.. it seems ok

Is it a bit unclear how configure properly Roundcube AND Dovecot (regarding IMAP settings)

Thank you very much

I just migrated spool from another server (by copying filesystem, I use maildir), this is an example of mailbox's content:

drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 11 Sep 29 09:27 .Drafts drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 9 Oct 4 10:18 .INBOX.Drafts drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 9 Oct 4 10:18 .INBOX.Sent drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 9 Oct 3 18:01 .INBOX.Trash drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 12 Sep 29 09:27 .Junk drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 8 Dec 9 2014 .Junk E-mail drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 10 Oct 4 12:27 .Sent drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 10 Oct 4 18:01 .Trash

-rw------- 1 postfix postfix 96 Oct 3 18:01 subscriptions

It seems I have duplicate folder (for example during webmail access, I use Roundcube).

You did not explain, which folders are duplicate. Does "duplicate" mean, that they have the some content or just the same name? If copy one message into one folder, is it accessable through the other one?

...

What is wrong with my setup?

Well, you mean "Sent" and "INBOX.Sent", which latter is a mailbox named "Sent" as subfolder of INBOX, then they are not duplicates, but have the same name. Eventually, your mail client strips the leading "INBOX" for convience for the user. Possibly, you had mailbox prefix configured in your setup ago, which hid all mailboxes except "INBOX" and below. Perhaps you have entries in your subscriptions files, which are no longer available, because of the other setup.

Hi,

honestly, I don't know if I need that.. I simply copied settings from former server, but with unexpected results.

I wondering what is correct Dovecot settings according to maildir layout in my case:

drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 11 Jun 19 18:22 .Deleted Items drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 11 Sep 29 09:27 .Drafts drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 9 Oct 4 10:18 .INBOX.Drafts drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 9 Oct 4 10:18 .INBOX.Sent drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 9 Oct 3 18:01 .INBOX.Trash drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 12 Sep 29 09:27 .Junk drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 8 Dec 9 2014 .Junk E-mail drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 9 Oct 2 14:18 .Posta indesiderata drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 9 Jun 19 18:22 .Posta inviata drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 10 Oct 4 12:27 .Sent drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 10 Oct 5 00:23 .Trash drwx------ 2 postfix postfix 217 Oct 5 13:09 cur -rw------- 1 postfix postfix 53 Feb 16 2017 dovecot-keywords -rw------- 1 postfix postfix 14028 Oct 5 13:09 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 postfix postfix 8 Oct 3 18:01 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 postfix postfix 0 Nov 27 2015 dovecot-uidvalidity.5658162a -r--r--r-- 1 postfix postfix 0 Sep 27 18:18 dovecot-uidvalidity.59cbcf5c -rw------- 1 postfix postfix 7200 Sep 29 01:19 dovecot.index -rw------- 1 postfix postfix 65740 Oct 5 18:07 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 postfix postfix 7932 Oct 5 13:46 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 postfix postfix 216 Oct 3 18:01 dovecot.mailbox.log drwx------ 2 postfix postfix 2 Oct 5 13:08 new -rw------- 1 postfix postfix 96 Oct 3 18:01 subscriptions drwx------ 2 postfix postfix 2 Oct 5 12:58 tmp

thank you very much

Those are my Roundcube settings

$config['default_folders'] = array('INBOX', 'Drafts', 'Sent', 'Junk', 'Trash');

If you don't need INBOX.* folders then remove the above namespace
definition. Roundcube adds automatically the personal namespace prefix
to special folders.
