Re: [Dovecot] Automatically subscribe to folder?
Here is my litte script: #!/bin/bash # find all domains for domain in /var/mail/*; do if [ -d $domain ]; then # find all accounts for each domain for user in $domain/*; do if [ -d $user ]; then subscriptionfile=$user/mail/subscriptions # create subscription file if it does not exist if [ ! -f $subscriptionfile ]; then touch $subscriptionfile fi grep Spam $user/mail/subscriptions &> /dev/null # subscribe to folder if user has not been subscribed yet if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then echo "Spam" >> $subscriptionfile fi; fi done fi done Maybe this could help someone having the same problem.

While it doesn't surprise me that there may well be MUAs which don't like subcriptions to folders that don't exist it seems to me that such MUAs are sailing pretty close to the wind as regards RFC 3501. The wording of sections 6.3.6 and 6.3.9 as I read it pretty heavily imply that clients must be prepared to deal with subscribed folders that no longer exist because a server is explicitly prevented from attempting to 'protect' a client from such a situation. 6.3.6. SUBSCRIBE Command [...] A server MAY validate the mailbox argument to SUBSCRIBE to verify that it exists. However, it MUST NOT unilaterally remove an existing mailbox name from the subscription list even if a mailbox by that name no longer exists. Note: This requirement is because a server site can choose to routinely remove a mailbox with a well-known name (e.g., "system-alerts") after its contents expire, with the intention of recreating it when new contents are appropriate. [...] 6.3.9. LSUB Command [...] The server MUST NOT unilaterally remove an existing mailbox name from the subscription list even if a mailbox by that name no longer exists.

Do you have a list of these MUA or do you know if there is a possibility to detect wether the folder exists or not? Well I never pay attention to this because never need such functionality. You can include checks for existing folder in shell script, after creating empty folder Dovecot just generate index next time user try to open it.

Re: [Dovecot] Automatically subscribe to folder?
Yes in 2003 this is what I have experienced with outlook. Outlook express has actualy quite good IMAP support. If I'm wrong about 2003 I would like to know where I was going wrong! Mark.

My problem is that users who did not had a folder Spam until the first

this new

Is it possible to automate this script and subscribe the account to this

You probably can write you own shell script to add folder name in
subscription file, because its stored as text.
