[Dovecot] users mail folders have to be subscribed

[Andre Bischof]

Hi,

I did a migration from cyrus 2.2 to dovecot (fresh installation, details
below) via cyrus2dovecot from FU Berlin. That worked, but I first was
missing mails in subfolders ander Inbox. No I detected that they are in the
users Maildir in folders in his directory. They are listed when using
telnet:

* LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.ebay"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.ebay.xj"

But they are not shown in thunderbird, I have to subscribe to them one by
one. I probably did something wrong and maybe messed up with namespace and
seperator settings - it would be great if one could lead me out of that.
The wiki was a great help installing and configuring everything, but now
I'm stuck.

I use dovecot 2.1.7 under Ubuntu 12.10:
# dovecot -n
# 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.5.0-18-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.10
auth_verbose = yes
mail_debug = yes
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

}

  sieve_dir = ~/sieve
}
postmaster_address = postmaster at localhost
protocols = imap pop3 sieve
service auth {
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth {
    group = postfix
    mode = 0660
    user = postfix
  }
}
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_cipher_list =

ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}
protocol imap {
  imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail
  mail_max_userip_connections = 10
}
protocol pop3 {
  mail_max_userip_connections = 10
  pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh
  }
}
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_cipher_list =

ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}
protocol imap {
  imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail
  mail_max_userip_connections = 10
}
protocol pop3 {
  mail_max_userip_connections = 10
  pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh
}
protocol lda {
  deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$
  mail_plugins = sieve sieve
  postmaster_address = postmaster
  quota_full_tempfail = yes
  rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r
}

Any help is greatly appreciated!
