[Dovecot] Subfolders
Hi,
Does dovecot supports sub folders ?? I tried creating a subfolder for a folder under the main tree .... Thunderbird allows you creating but doesn't show up ...
Plz suggest how it can be enabled.

I'm using dovecot-1.0.3 and TB-2.0.0.6 and I can create folder and subfolder without any problem.
When you create a new folder named "foo", for example, using TB does the ".foo" directory comes up into your maildir?

Dovecot with thunderbird only seems to support sub folders if you are using maildir type mailstores. I don't think it will work if using mbox.

Not true. I use Thunderbird as my mail client, and create subfolders... I use mbox. (Though I intend to convert to maildir eventually) When you create a folder, you have to decide whether the folder will contain messages only, or other folders. Folders and mesages can not be contained in the same folder.
Hi,
Thnx for the replies. I am using 1.0.2 and mbox, but from which option you choose that this folder will have subfolders or will it contain only files ?? I used the New SubFolder Option.

Hello Azher,

Our mail server is running with mbox files. Whenever I want to create a folder that is designated to contain subfolders, its (the folder's) name needs to end with a trailing slash. Tested with Thunderbird and Outlook.
