[Dovecot] Folder creation errors
Hi-
In a mbox environment:
1 login username password 1 OK Logged in. 2 create "slar" 2 NO Internal error [2003-06-11 15:44:56] 3 create "/slar" 3 NO Invalid mailbox name: /slar 4 create "Mail/slar" 4 OK Create completed. 5 create "./slar" 5 OK Create completed. 6 create "blar" 6 NO Internal error [2003-06-11 15:46:54] 7 logout
- BYE Logging out 7 OK Logout completed.
i.e. I get "internal error" if there is no path component in the folder name. Is this a problem? I would guess that "internal error" is always a problem :-)

Yes .. And log file should show exactly what the error message is. I guess you've some weird settings. :)

Jun 14 12:21:09 iridium mem[118]: imap(dummydummy): mkdir_parents(/usr2/users/username/) failed: Is a directory
dovecot.conf has:
default_mail_env = mbox:~/:INBOX=%h/Mailbox
Probably not so much a weird setting as a weird artifact in BSD/OS:
mkdir x
mkdir x
returns EEXIST
mkdir x/
returns EISDIRThis is a long-standing thorn..
if I change mkdir-parents.c to check for EISDIR as well as EEXIST it fixes the problem. Can you add that to the official version?
Sorry for not checking that myself.

Actually it shouldn't be adding the extra '/' at the end, that seems to be fixed in CVS already. But I'll add the EISDIR check there anyway.
