Actually, the only setting I know of in Tbird for handling subscribed
folders is:

Account Settings > Server Settings > Advanced > Show only subscribed
folders (checkbox)

There is a setting for automatically setting new folders to 'offline' mode.

I am not sure I follow. When I am in Thunderbird and I create a new
"subfolder" under my Inbox, it shows up on the emal server as:

/home/user/Maildir/.new_folder

When I do this from the client, I don't think I force my client
(Thunderbird) to subscribe to the folder. When I "cp" the folder from
the server, do I need to force the my client to subscribe?


I believe in Thunderbird there is a setting (the default) to 
automatically subscribe to 'Thunderbird' newly created folders.

I am not sure I follow. When I am in Thunderbird and I create a new
"subfolder" under my Inbox, it shows up on the emal server as:

/home/user/Maildir/.new_folder

When I do this from the client, I don't think I force my client
(Thunderbird) to subscribe to the folder. When I "cp" the folder from
the server, do I need to force the my client to subscribe?

Thanks for your help!

Maybe you need to subscribe to your new "test" folder from your
Thunderbird session.


[Dovecot] Unable To Move IMAP Folder (Dovecot)

2008-10-01 Thread Carlos Williams
I have a user who has a folder in his Maildir/ called "test"

/home/user/Maildir/.test

This folder shows up as a sub folder to his Inbox on his Thunderbird
client and I tried using the "cp" command to move this over to my
Maildir/ directory on the same server and when I launch Thunderbird,
that folder is not visible for me. I made sure permissions are correct
and even reloaded Dovecot.

mail:/home/user/Maildir# cp -R .test/ /home/me/Maildir/

mail:/home/user/Maildir# chown -R me:users .test/

The permissions and ownership seem to be identical to all the folders
I created as subfolders myself but for some reason, I can NOT see
"test/".

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
