Re: [Dovecot] Can't get dovecot to see email folders

[Blaster]

 Charles,

Thanks for much for your tips...I have gotten further!
I did have a userdb section, but I commented it out because it didn't 
seem to do anything.  I've added it back in, and now home= is filled in 
appropriately.  Now my mail clients aren't complaining!

However, Thunderbird, Outloook, etc, are still not able to list private 
folders.  If I make a new folder, it gets created in /home/%u/mail as it 
should, but Thunderbird removes it again on the next refresh.  If I use 
the mail client on my Android phone which does a raw directory listing, 
I'm put into the correct /home/%u/mail folder, so that part is working.  
So this seems to be a foldering listing problem?  I've copied in the 
UW-IMAP namespace section from the WIKI.

HEre's my current config file, any thoughts as to why Thunderbird isn't 
picking up the private folders?
