Hi,

I'm currently installing a dovecot Server to be a replacement for an uw-imapd.

I dont want to touch the clients configuration, because I have too much users...

Situation is the following: the mbox files are in the users homedirectory (~/MailImap), automounted via nfs In dovecot.conf I've set default_mail_env = mbox:%h/MailImap:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

It works perfect without a value in Firefox' setting 'IMAP server directory' but in all clients tis is set to '~/MailImap' so it doesnt show subfolders

I already tried to symlink various things in the MailImap directory and different values of default_mail_env, but I cannot mak it work.

Any suggestions? It would help if dovecot could discard the IMAP server directory setting of the client, but I am not a programmer and dont know where to look in the source :-(

You probably should take a look at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces
