[Dovecot] imapsync, namespaces and Dovecot 2.x
Hi people,
I recently tried to migrate from Exchange using imapsync. It didn't work because it complained that dovecot had no namespace capablity. After looking through Dovecot's config files I found that namespaces could be defined, but if you did not a 'private' default one was created.
In the 2.x wiki documentation (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration) it says nothing about Namespaces. I don't know if I have to create one or not. If I add the parameters --sep2 . --prefix2 '' to imapsync then it works fine.
I'm proxying using dovecot as frontend and backend, version 2.0.18 (The one that comes with Debian Wheezy).
Any thoughts, please?
Thanks,
Aleix.

The problem is that Dovecot doesn't advertise NAMESPACE capability before client has logged in. The better solution would be to change imapsync to figure this out automatically. The other solution would be to set in Dovecot:
imap_capability = +NAMESPACE
