Hello. I apologize if there is a simple answer to this question, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Our people use various clients (pine 4.50 with maildir patch, eudora, messenger, outlook, squirrelmail), and all of them work with courier-imap. But I've become very interested in dovecot after reading about it, so I'm trying it out on another server. The results are mixed.

Strangely enough, squirrelmail 1.4.1 works wonderfully. For some reason, it duplicates Sent, Drafts, and Trash, but I deleted the duplicates and it was fine. Mozilla messenger is also fine, but with the same duplication of those special folders. Everything seems nice and fast.

But some of our users still cling to pine, which works with courier-imap using these three lines in .pinerc: inbox-path={our.server.edu/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=emily}INBOX default-fcc={our.server.edu/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=emily}INBOX.Sent folder-collections="IMAP Folders" {our.server.edu/user=emily/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX.[]

On the test server I'm using dovecot-0.99.10 compiled against openssl-0.9.7b in Redhat 9.

This pine configuration worked in courier, but when I try pine with dovecot, I can't see any folders under "Folder Collection" other than those special three (Drafts, Sent, Trash). I'm sure there's just something I'm doing wrong, but I couldn't find anything in the dovecot list archives. I would appreciate any advice on what I'm doing wrong in getting pine to see the whole collection.

Thanks,

-- Emily
