[Dovecot] Virtual mailbox plugin, 4 days of struggling

[Brandon Lamb]

Hello,

I finally got an INBOX to work, but is virtual mailbox plugin only
meant to create a virtual inbox, or should I be able to have an
Allmails virtual folder that is viewable in my imap client? if
~/virtual/ is my location, would I create an Allmails directory in the
virtual/ or virtual/INBOX/Allmails. Im fairly confused on how this is
suppose to work. I was trying to duplicate the gmail-like setup on the
wiki but I cant get it work.

Per the wiki, i put in the userdb inbox select, but made swapped pop3 for imap
