Ok, i have this in my config:
namespace inbox {
prefix = INBOX.
separator = .
inbox = yes
list = yes
}
Based on migration instructions from here:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier
and here:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Namespaces
Difference is that second page is using namespace 'inbox' and first not. I tried both and the second was working ok while first was doing problems in IMAP clients (it puts folder tree to different location than it was with Courier).
The problem with LIST command disappears when i comment out line "prefix = INBOX.". Any hints? Thank you.
