Hi,

I'd like to remind to my question / bug-report some days ago.

Can anybody help?

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Dovecot] doveadm can't import his own mdboxes Datum: Wed, 02 Oct 2013 15:46:12 +0200 Von: Peer Heinlein p.heinlein@heinlein-support.de An: Dovecot Mailing List dovecot@dovecot.org

We're running Dovecot 2.1.17 on Debian:

# 2.1.17 (9efbc0731929): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab078.27.debug i686 Debian 7.1 simfs

and we're having this namespace configuration:

mail_location = mdbox:/var/mail/%Ld/%Ln/mdbox

namespace inbox { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = separator = . subscriptions = yes type = private }

As you can see, our namespace seperator is "." and not "/":

a LIST "" "*"

• LIST (\HasChildren) "." INBOX.test
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX.test.huhu
• LIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "." Trash
• LIST (\HasChildren) "." INBOX a OK List completed.

The problem is, that doveadm isn't able to import his own mdbox-directory:

1. delete the whole mdbox folder

rm -rf mdbox

2. create the new mdbox folder and create some subfolders in it

doveadm mailbox create -u max.muster INBOX.test

# doveadm mailbox create -u max.muster INBOX.test.huhu

3. put a mail into a subfolder

4. try to re-import the whole mdbox: it doesn't work

doveadm import -u max.muster mdbox:mdbox BACKUP all

doveadm(max.muster): Error: Couldn't create mailbox BACKUP.INBOX/test/huhu: Character not allowed in mailbox name: '/'

Looks like there's something wrong in the namespace or like doveadm is working with a hardcoded internal namespace...
