Hi!
I'm currently trying to migrate from courier-imapd to dovecot...
Unfortunately I'm experiences some difficulties here...
Since I don't want any user to notice the change of the server backend
I've tried changing the namespace in dovecot.conf to
namespace private {
separator = .
location = maildir:~/Maildir
prefix = INBOX.
inbox = yes
hidden = no
}
With this setting almost everything works fine! Almost... ;-)
Squirrelmail won't show 'INBOX' on the left side of the folder tree...
If I configure dovecot without the 'INBOX.' prefix it works fine in
Squirrelmail, except that all other eMail clients show all sub-folders
as a sub-folder of root and not the inbox...
root
\- inbox
\- sent
\- trash
\- drafts
\- private
\- spam
instead of
root
\- inbox
| \- sent
| \- trash
| \- drafts
| \- private
| \- spam
any Idea what could be wrong?
I've read the wiki about the courier-migration and also tried the
conversion script ... but something is wrong I'm afraid...
thanks in advance,
Andreas
