[Dovecot] Missing IMAP folders
Hi,
I'm fresh starting to use dovecot. Before this I used bincimap, mainly because it was very simple to config.
I've tried to find the FAQ's and tried searching the archives, but little came up.
My current config: server FreeBSD i386, postfix 2.4 dovecot 1.0.10 client: windows 2000 thunderbird 2.0.0.12
after some inital config this starts up, and I even have the advantage that I can save in the Sent folder on the server.
However I have over 3500 folders and most of them are more than 3 levels deep. And I only get to see the first top level of directories. Searching and/or subscribing does not bring anything.
Does somebody have pointers on how to fix this, other than manually trying to recreate al subscriptions.

Are they stored in subdirectories in filesystem? Dovecot v1.1 would
support that, but v1.0 supports only Maildir++ directory layout. http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir#maildir++
Although I thought that Binc also supported only maildir++ and
imapdir, and I thought imapdir also used a maildir++-like flat layout?

Directories was perhaps the wrong word to use. No they just follow the maildir format .aaa.bbb.ccc So ccc is a subfolder of bbb which is a subfolder of aaa

AFAIK Binc does not understand much other than the basics....

OK, then I suspect the problem happens because hierarchy separator changed from '/' to '.' and Thunderbird keeps caching the old one and breaking itself. Try
a) Deleting/rebuilding TB's cache
b) Changing Dovecot's separator to '/' also using namespaces. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces
