While I was running dovecot 1.2.9, I had my mailboxes using the old Courier IMAP format. i.e. my mailboxes would look like
INBOX.Orders.Scams Going to dovecot 2 (but not 2.1), I see to have a few questions: 1) It seems I would device my mailbox thingies in 10-mail.conf: namespace inbox { inbox = yes separator = . location = prefix = INBOX. type = private mailbox SPAM { auto=subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto=subscribe special_use = \Trash } mailbox Sent { auto=subscribe special_use = \Sent } } but how would I prepresent my INBOX.Orders.Scams folder? Something like mailbox Orders.Scams { auto=subscribe } perhaps? 2) Reading (am I literate?) through http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Namespaces, it seems having separator = . is not only outdated but also a bad idea (but, I had child mailboxes as shown above). Could anybody elaborate one that? And which clients still do LSUB *?
