namespace...mailbox doesn't exist
Hello list,
I have a namespace called 'projects' which when clicked in Thunderbird (nonexistent in eM Client) yields the following error:
"The current operation on 'projects' did not succeed. The mail server for account user@domain.tld responded: mailbox doesn't exist: projects.projects (0.00 + 0.00 secs)."
The namespace is configure as follows:
# Shared namespace 'projects' namespace { location = maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.tld/shared/projects prefix = projects. separator = . type = public }

This did not happen with other versions of dovecot (I think) but just started happening with the upgrade. While it is not a serious problem and I can live with it, what would be causing it in the new dovecot iteration (2.2.23) ? And, could it be that I'm missing the necessary setting to mitigate this? Please let me know if any additional information is necessary.
I'm thinking that the problem lies in lines 6/7 and 8/9 where Dovecot is looking for mdbox/sdbox.

Also what's actually supposed to exist under the projects? ls -a /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.tld/shared/projects ?

So there is no such folder as "projects.projects"? I don't know why Thunderbird would try to open it then. Maybe it wasn't Dovecot upgrade but Thunderbird upgrade that started breaking it?
You could also see if LSUB "" * lists a "projects.projects".
