Well .. I guess the plugin could guess that any \2e (and the few other
escapes) in any error string could be converted back, but I don't
think it's really worth the trouble since normally a client wouldn't
ever issue such a command that gives an error..
There's a similar problem also if you're using namespace prefixes.
They're dropped from the error messages. Maybe when I some day manage
to solve that somehow this listescape problem might get solved at the
same time. :)

[Dovecot] Cosmetic issue with dots in Maildir folder names
Just a minor cosmetic issue: We use the listescape plugin in order to
support "." characters in Maildir++ folder names, and in at least the
following case, the escaped representation of the dot character ("\2e")
won't be translated back to a "." in messages for the IMAP client:
| 1 SELECT non.existent
| 1 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: non\2eexistent
However, SELECTing an existing folder whose name includes a dot works
fine, and it also works in other cases, e.g.:
| 2 CREATE does.exist
| 2 OK Create completed.
| 3 LIST "" does.exist
| * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" does.exist
| 3 OK List completed.
This is with Dovecot 1.1.3; we use "separator = /" and we've defined
REAL_SEP to '.' and VIRTUAL_SEP to '/' in the plugin.

Hi Timo, what about imap acl full implemented ( not plugin )

It's not in my plans, but Kolab people are probably going to need it, so
maybe they'll implement it. :)
And what do you mean by "not plugin"? It's most likely going to be a
plugin in any case.
Sorry Timo i missposted you *g,
the problem is the file based acl ( whatever plugin or not ), i dont
know any
webmail etc which gives the users themselfs a chance
to make their own acls, editing files i.e via ftp is
very outdated, what dovecot needs is edit acls direct via the client
over imap like its in cyrus, so we can use horde or squirrel webmail
The problem isn't really about making IMAP commands available for the
ACL file creation, that's pretty easy to implement. The problem is that
once the ACLs have been given the mailboxes should be visible to other
users. That's more difficult to implement.
Well, I actually started it today since it's needed for replication:
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/6dd0c6755afe
Mailboxes can't be listed yet (and I'm not planning on implementing that
anytime soon), but if you add the wanted mailboxes to subscriptions they
should be usable by clients. Configuration goes like:
namespace shared {
separator = /
# %%u gets expanded to the remote user. Instead of %%u you can
# also use %%n and %%d.
prefix = shared/%%u/
location = Maildir:/home/%%u/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
}
I didn't bother testing it with ACL plugin yet, but I guess it should
work.
And as for the IMAP ACL commands then.. Well, they shouldn't be too
difficult to implement I think. Someone else could try to do it
though. :)
Hi Timo,
youre great, i will test this soon

Well, sure if you're going to kill -9 it then it doesn't log anything. There's no way Dovecot can do anything because you had kernel kill it directly without any kind of a notification.. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
