http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables states that %w only works for Dovecot-auth so this does not seem to work for imap client proxy. > How can I get the %w to expand properly, because I think then things > would work...? I assume you will need to use a master user (masteruser) to login on behalf of the actual user (loginuser), since the user should be already authenticated when he sees the namespace "oldmail". http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers There is an "imapc_master_user" setting in newer versions of Dovecot 2.1, try something like this? imapc_user = %u imapc_master_user = masteruser imapc_password = enter_password_of_masteruser_here or alternatively for older versions: imapc_user = %u*masteruser imapc_password = enter_password_of_masteruser_here Regards Daniel -- https://plus.google.com/103021802792276734820
