[Dovecot] namespace problem

[Rainer Sigl]

Hi all,

after an update from dovecot beta version to 1.0.0.-1 today morning I 
had different effects:
thunderbird-, kmail-, Apple-clients, pine  and squirrelmail could 
receive email correct with imaps. But not MSOutlook!!!
Varying the namespace configurations in dovecot.conf I got different 
results with MSOutlook working but with thunderbird, squirrelmail etc. 
all folders are displayed but not the root Inbox etc.
Its important to know that I migrated from courier-imap to dovecot.

My well working namespace config BEFORE upgrade to 1.0.0-1:

namespace private {
  #separator = /
  prefix = INBOX.
#   prefix =
  inbox = yes
  #hidden = yes
}
#the second namespace I need to work with Apple because they use /
namespace private {
  separator = /
  prefix = INBOX/
  inbox = no
  hidden = yes
}

Here my actual namespace configs:

namespace private {
  separator =
  prefix = INBOX.
  inbox = no
  hidden = no
}
namespace private {
  separator = /
  prefix = INBOX/
  inbox = no
  hidden = yes
}
namespace private {
  separator = .
  prefix = INBOX.
  inbox = yes
  hidden = yes
}

In varying inbox and hidden keywords I found this configuration. Most 
things are working with this but in squirrelmal I can't access inbox, 
the main folder.

How do I have to configure that everythings works satisfying??


Many thanks

Rainer Sigl
