Thanks! I was just looking at the repository, while you were committing
these fixes ;) But these fixes uncovered another bug. I can SELECT now,
but FETCH fails:

Thanks. This works now, with a minor glitch. The directory backing the
"mbox" namespace looks like this:

     Archiv/list1
     Archiv/list2
     foo1
     foo2

As "Archiv" is a directory, it is not selectable (of course). Using the
above dovecot-virtual file, I get "NO Mailbox isn't selectable: Archiv"
if I try to select the virtual mbox.

This message does not occur, if use "*" instead of "mbox/*" as mailbox
pattern.

BTW: I really like dovecot's easy-to-reach debugging facilities.

  - Lars.
