[Dovecot] Two namespaces with same prefix.
Hi, I have yet another problem. First let me explain my setup. I used to use pine a lot so there are mbox mailboxes in ~/mail. Recently I added a Maildir too and moved most of the mbox mailboxes into Maildir format. Now I thoght it would be nice to have them all "in line" in Thunderbird so I tried this configuration:
namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = %h/mbox inbox = yes }
namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:%h/Maildir }
The problem is that with this configuration I cannot access the ~/mail/box mailboxes. Thunderbird responds with "Mailbox doesn't exist: box"
Is such kind of configuration with two namespaces having same prefix unsupported?

It's unsupported. Perhaps it should even give error message at
startup instead of just behaving wrongly.
The correct solution for your problem isn't to add multiple
namespaces, but add ability for Dovecot to support mixed maildir/mbox
directories where the format is detected automatically when selecting
the mailbox. After v1.0..
