Hi all,

this is my first post to this list, and hope someone can help me ;-)

I'm running dovecot.x86_64 1.0.7-7.el5 on a CentOS release 5.5 (Final) box.

when a user tries to create a sub-subfolder in Archiv, he gets the message:

"Mailbox doesn't allow inferior mailboxes"

Mailclient is MS Outlook 2003 SP3

is there a spezial configuration in /etc/dovecot.conf needed?

MailLocation is by default in /etc/dovecot:

# See doc/wiki/Variables.txt for full list. Some examples:
#
#   mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
#   mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
#   mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%d/%1n/%n:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%1n/%n
#
# <doc/wiki/MailLocation.txt>
#
#mail_location =

Users have there IMAP folders in
"~/mail"

# pwd
/home/bema/mail
# ls -l
total 552
