[Dovecot] More than one private namespace not possible

[Jan Friedrich]

Hi everyone,

Two days ago I migrated from Courier to Dovecot 1.2.13. Everything went
smooth until the point I wanted to try some more features of Dovecot.

My working configuration contains just the one INBOX. private namespace.
Adding any other private namespaces (e.g. SHARE. with the configuration
below) produces strange results in Thunderbird 3.0.6 and Evolution 2.28.3:

I cannot see the SHARE. namespace but the mail clients create
SHARE^^Trunk and other funny things inside the INBOX. namespace (inside
die INBOX. Maildir). Changing the name of this private namespace has no
effect.

Because the devault dovecot.conf tells me I need an default namespace I
created one but that did not change anything.

In Thunderbird 3.0.6 the namespaces are correctly displayed in the
advanced IMAP settings under "private namespaces" but not in the main view.

The logs do not show any errors or warnings and the Maildir for the
SHARE. namespace is correctly created by Dovecot.

System:

Ubuntu Hardy with self-compiled Dovecot 1.2.13 with managesieve 0.11.11
patch.

SHARE-Namespace:

namespace private {
   separator = .
   prefix = SHARE.
   location = maildir:~/shared/Maildir
   list = yes
   subscriptions = yes
   hidden = no
   inbox = no
}

Working config (without second private namespace):
