[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.2.1 subscribtion status in LIST

[Nikolay S.]

Hi there,

I am using Evolution to connect to dovecot imap server. Today the server was upgraded to 2.2.1 from 2.1.9, and there is problem with evolution being unable to subscribe to INBOX.

This is from dovecot 2.1.9:
a002 list "" "*" return (subscribed)
* LIST (\Subscribed) "." "Sent Items"
* LIST (\Subscribed) "." "Junk E-mail"
* LIST (\Subscribed) "." "Trash"
* LIST (\Subscribed) "." "Archive"
* LIST (\Subscribed) "." "Drafts"
* LIST (\Subscribed) "." "INBOX"	<---


And this is from 2.2.1:
a002 list "" "*" return (subscribed)
* LIST (\Subscribed) "." "Sent Items"
* LIST (\Subscribed) "." "Junk E-mail"
* LIST (\Subscribed) "." Trash
* LIST (\Subscribed) "." Archive
* LIST (\Subscribed) "." Drafts
* LIST () "." INBOX			<---
a002 OK List completed.
a002 lsub "" "*"
* LSUB () "." Drafts
* LSUB () "." "Sent Items"
* LSUB () "." Archive
* LSUB () "." Trash
* LSUB () "." INBOX			<---
* LSUB () "." "Junk E-mail"
a002 OK Lsub completed.

In 2.2.1 LIST does not show INBOX as subscribed, which looks to confuse evolution. INBOX is actually subscribed:
cat <path-to-maildir>/subscriptions
Drafts
Sent Items
Archive
Trash
INBOX
Junk E-mail
