[dovecot] debian 0.99.8.1 packages available
I thought I'd mention it here because a lot of people have been waiting for me on this. My personal situation is getting saner now so I finally was able to package up 0.99.8.1. The package for sid was uploaded last night and should appear in the archive today. A backport for woody is available from http://www.braincells.com/open/
I have not included POP3, LDAP or SASL2 support for now as I didn't want anything to delay the package from entering the archive. That will be the next order of business.
The only bug I've seen so far is that when my mbox-format inbox was in /home/jaldhar/mail/inbox dovecot thought it ha 0 messages. It only showed up properly after I moved it back to /var/spool/mail/jaldhar but I suspect this is just a configuration error on my part.

I've got problems, that seem similar, using the 0.99.8.1 .deb.
I'm using Maildir. I've got it set up on a user account to accept mail for root (into .admin), for postmaster (into .admin.postmaster), and for webmaster (.admin.webmaster).
mutt won't open .admin. The message is "error trying to view file". It will let me open .admin as a container, so I can see the subfolders for postmaster and webmaster, and it will let me open these.
sylpheed 0.8.5 (yes, an old version; I'll try a newer one later today when I have access) shows admin as empty. Completely empty, that is, even though its new/ directory actually contains over twenty messages, and it should display two subfolders.
So there's something very strange going on with navigation of folders, or so it seems to me.

Timo suggested I set the default_mail_env in the configuration file.
Btw Timo, that worked for me.

Already set. Finds the main folder. It's just acting bizarre for folders that hold both messages and child folders (as far as I can tell).

Update:
Created a folder, "test", using Sylpheed. Okay. Copied mail to it. Okay. Tried to create subfolder "child". Error; not created. Created folder "test2". Okay. Tried to create subfolder "child". Error; not created.
Using mutt: created folder "test". Okay. Copied mail to it. Okay. Folder opens; mail is visible. Tried to create subfolder "child" (mutt prompts as test.child, accept). Okay. test folder no longer visible as mail container, but child folder is visible.
There's something weird happening when you put mail and subfolders in the same folder. Creating a subfolder means that any mail in the folder is no longer accessible. For whatever reason, sylpheed can't even see subfolders (much less create them).
I could try to tcpdump this, but it won't help much, I'm afraid: it's set to disable plaintext, so it always does starttls, which means the dump won't have any interesting information.

I think these are now fixed in CVS or list.patch in web page.

It's probably because LIST handling is a bit buggy. If mutt asks LIST "" admin.%, Dovecot replies that "admin." is \NoSelect folder. I haven't yet got around to fixing this, I think I'll rewrite the LIST handling once again..
