While talking to the same dovecot 1.2.8 server: Mutt 1.5.18 (2008-05-17) works OK with first.initial.last mboxes and Mutt 1.5.20 (2009-06-14) does NOT work with first.initial.last mboxes So it looks like I was totally offtrack in assuming dovecot was at fault. My apologies. I'll see if I can find out more Wilko

The above error message sounds > like you've changed the separator to be '.'. Is that intentional? I have attached the dovecot -n from my dovecot 1.2.8 which does not want to accept firstname.initial.lastname. This is the dovecot128.conf file. I have also attached the dovecot -n from my dovecot 1.1.7 (running on another system) which works OK with firstname.initial.lastname Both versions work OK as long as there are no . in the name of the mbox file to be created/written. Only 1.1.7 works with . in the filename of the mbox file. > > On a not-previously-existing mbox dovecot 1.2.8 produces the directory > > hierarchy thing: firstname -> initial -> lastname > > You mean this is also how it was in 1.1.7?.. If so, it probably worked back > then only because of lack of error detection. No, on 1.1.7 I never used/saw firstname -> inital -> lastname inboxes. I only saw firstname.initial.lastname mbox files, no directory hierarchy was created. Appreciate your insight! Thanks!

[Dovecot] dovecot and firstname.initial.lastname mbox format archive
hi Today I have been in a puzzling fight with 2 dovecot versions that I would like to ask some comments on. The situation is this: - I have a considerable mail archive in mbox format (yes, I know, but that is what I have..). - My mail reader is mutt 1.5.20 by the way. - Some of these mbox files have names like firstname.initial.lastname Note the . seperating the parts of the email-ers name. - On my old system I have dovecot v 1.1.7 which has always worked flawless - On my new system I have dovecot v 1.2.8 which refuses to handle these dot-seperated files. I get the somewhat familiar "Mailbox doesn't allow inferior mailboxes". On a not-previously-existing mbox dovecot 1.2.8 produces the directory hierarchy thing: firstname -> initial -> lastname - I am using the same dovecot.conf on v.1.1.7 and v.1.2.8 Can anyone tell me if v1.2.8 no longer is able to do what v1.1.7 did? And what I dearly would like to get working :-( And if it can, what should I put in dovecot.conf to make that happen? thanks, Wilko -- wi...@freebsd.org
