Hello Timo,

With dovecot 2.1.rc1 (056934abd2ef) there seems to be something wrong with virtual plugin mailbox search patterns.

I'm using a virtual mailbox 'unread' with the following dovecot-virtual file

$ cat dovecot-virtual * unseen

For testing propose I created the following folders with each containing one unread message

INBOX, INBOX/level1 and INBOX/level1/level2

2.1.rc1 (056934abd2ef)

1 LIST "" "*"

• LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "INBOX"
• LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "INBOX/level1"
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX/level1/level2"
• LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "virtual"
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "virtual/unread" 1 OK List completed. 2 STATUS "INBOX" (UNSEEN)
• STATUS "INBOX" (UNSEEN 1) 2 OK Status completed. 3 STATUS "INBOX/level1" (UNSEEN)
• STATUS "INBOX/level1" (UNSEEN 1) 3 OK Status completed. 4 STATUS "INBOX/level1/level2" (UNSEEN)
• STATUS "INBOX/level1/level2" (UNSEEN 1) 4 OK Status completed. 5 STATUS "virtual/unread" (UNSEEN)
• STATUS "virtual/unread" (UNSEEN 1) 5 OK Status completed.

Result: virtual/unread shows only 1 unseen message. Further tests showed it's the one from INBOX. The mails from the deeper levels are not found.

Downgrading to 2.0.16 restores the correct behavior:

1 LIST "" "*"

• LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "INBOX"
• LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "INBOX/level1"
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX/level1/level2"
• LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "virtual"
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "virtual/unread" 1 OK List completed. 2 STATUS "INBOX" (UNSEEN)
• STATUS "INBOX" (UNSEEN 1) 2 OK Status completed. 3 STATUS "INBOX/level1" (UNSEEN)
• STATUS "INBOX/level1" (UNSEEN 1) 3 OK Status completed. 4 STATUS "INBOX/level1/level2" (UNSEEN)
• STATUS "INBOX/level1/level2" (UNSEEN 1) 4 OK Status completed. 5 STATUS "virtual/unread" (UNSEEN)
• STATUS "virtual/unread" (UNSEEN 3) 5 OK Status completed.

Result: virtual/unread shows 3 unseen messages as it should

The namespace configuration is as following

namespace { hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace { location = virtual:~/virtual prefix = virtual/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = private }

I've also tried this with location = virtual:~/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++ leading to the same result.

Thanks, e-frog

Just tested this on 2.1.rc3 and this still doesn't work like in v2.0. It seems like the search stops at the first hierarchy separator. Is there anything in addition I can do to help fix this issue?

Thanks, e-frog
