Dovecot's version is: dovecot-1.0-1.1.rc15.fc6
Sorry for being unclear. Heres's the basic setup:
I am using mutt. Fetchmail gets my mails which get distributed through
procmail to diff set of maildirs or mboxes. I am using sendmail to relay
the mails through gmail.
I wanted to see if I could configure dovecot to make my maildirs and
mboxes under ~/Mail/ ( as I had tried to show the Mail dir structure )
accessible through it. If I am able to do it then I would be able use
diff MUAs. Don't want to leave mutt but other MUAs are also on the list
of choices.
After reading wiki etc I believe namespaces can solve the problem.
Here's a snippet of my dovecot config.
namespace public {
separator = /
inbox = yes
hidden = yes
prefix = "#mbox/"
location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=~/Maildir/.dovecotindexes/%d/%1n/%n
}
namespace public {
separator = /
# prefix =
# location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/.dovecotindexes/%d/%1n/%n
# hidden = yes
prefix = "/"
location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/.dovecotindexes/%d/%1n/%n
}
#namespace public {
# separator = /
# prefix =
# location = maildir:~/Maildir/fedora-devel-list:INDEX=~/Maildir/.dovecotindexes/%d/%1n/%n
#}
#namespace public {
# separator = /
# prefix =
# location = maildir:~/Maildir/inbox:INDEX=~/Maildir/.dovecotindexes/%d/%1n/%n
#}
#namespace public {
# separator = /
# prefix =
# location = mbox:~/Maildir/newsletter:INDEX=~/Maildir/.dovecotindexes/%d/%1n/%n
#}
Here I have copied my original Mail folder to Maildir for dovecot and
experimentation.
I have simply copied it from diff sources and modified as I felt fit.
But I am not sure about it.
Here's a the output from telnet to dovecot:
[root at fc6host ~]# telnet localhost 143
