Hello, I've switched from courier-imap to dovecot to benefit from the virtual folder feature. I'm using dovecot 1.2.6 on Gentoo Linux. However, I', getting the message "[NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: <name>" from Thunderbird when I try to access any virtual folder.
The relevant setup: mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir namespace private { separator = . inbox = yes hidden = yes list = yes } namespace private { prefix = virtual. separator = . location = virtual:~/.maildir/.virtual } I then created the folders ~user/.maildir/.virtual and ~user/.maildir/.virtual.test and placed a file in .virtual.test with the contents ====== * all ====== After a dovecot restart I'm getting the error message: "[NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: test" Where did I make the mistake in the configuration? Is the "." path separator a problem case? ciao, Elmar
