doveadm dump ignores .pvt

[Thomas Herrmann]

While debugging a different problem, I used "doveadm dump" to show
information about a maildir folder; it happily reported values from
dovecot.index and dovecot.index.log (confirmed by strace):

[...]
messages count ........... = 978
seen messages count ...... = 967
[...]

However, mail clients reported different values, I guess because the
Seen flags were actually stored in the dovecot.index.pvt.log files.

Is this a known problem or a result of my (maybe unsupported?) setup?

My public maildir folder contains only links to mailboxes of the private
maildir of the mail admin, i.e.:

/home/vmail/public/.Info -> ../adwin.de/mail-admin/Maildir/.Info

namespace {
  list = children
  location =
maildir:/home/vmail/public:INDEXPVT=/home/vmail/adwin.de/%n/public
  prefix = ADwin/
  separator = /
  subscriptions = no
  type = public
}

My setups leads to .pvt-files in the public namespace, could this be a
problem? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Symlinks explicitly
states that symlinking _should_ work.

Using version 2.2.13 (debian packages).

Regards,
Thomas
