Well, it took a ton of time and research, but I finally have a working
Unread virtual mailbox on Dovecot 2.x on Centos 6.0. I have no idea if
it's optimal or correct, but it works perfectly and doesn't raise any
errors or warnings.
Here's what I ended up with:
dovecot.conf: Add the following:
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins virtual
namespace {
type = private
prefix = virtual.
separator = .
location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual
}
10-mail.conf: Add the following:
# default namespace
namespace {
separator = .
prefix =
inbox = yes
}
20-imap.conf: Add the following:
protocol imap {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins virtual
}
15-lda.conf: Add the following:
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins virtual
}
Restart dovecot.
Reload your mail client.
Dovecot will create ~/Maildir/virtual
cd ~/Maildir/virtual
mkdir Unread
Use your favorite editor and create a file named "dovecot-virtual" contaiing:
# ~/Maildir/virtual/unseen/dovecot-virtual
INBOX
INBOX.*
-INBOX.Trash
unseen
Save the file and restart your mail client.
Go to "Subscriptions" in your mail client and subscribe to the Unseen folder.
You should now have a virtual folder that contains all your unread
mail, except for the contents of the Trash folder.
Enjoy!
