[Dovecot] (un)selectable folders
Hi ya'll
I'm using dovecot 0.99.11 and I have a doubt about some folders.
The Inbox folder is greyed out on most of my clients, and I just cannot move any message (on other folders) into inbox. I'd like to know if I can do that.
Besides that, when I select the Drafts folder I get the "Mailbox isn't selectable" warning, and cannot save any drafts there so, how could I change that?
Thnx

0.99x isnt supported anymore. Try the 1.x series and see how it goes.

Thaks for the answer. I use RHEL based system, which claims not to use any software in early stages and, as long as I can read at dovecot's, 1.0 is still a RC.
Maybe mounting a testing server and do dovecot's install... but it sure won't be soon...
If there's any other advise, it would be helpful...

Unfortunately 0.99 has some problems which 1.0 don't have. I happily migrated from 0.99 to 1.0beta (and now RC), and it solved many problems (amongst others impossibility to access imap from some mobile phones). If I were you, I would really investigate migrating to 1.0, for example by building your own rpm for RHEL if you don't wish to go by the source install route.
That said, you should maybe verify file system permissions on the mailboxes which have the problem. If your clients use the very buggy outlook, you should also use the workarounds in the configuration file.

Thanks both. I'll make some time to package and test it, I have web clients as well as thunderbird and outlook ones... I'll try tweaking the confs to fit'em...

I'd guess you have set "IMAP namespace prefix" (or whatever your client calls it) to something else than empty.
