[Dovecot] shared mailboxes using namespaces in 1.2
Hi! I've been using shared mailbox trees using maildir, unix permissions and separate namespaces per shared tree since dovecot 1.0. However now that I've upgraded to 1.2.8, I cannot create subfolders anymore. The server responds with NO Invalid mailbox name: test/testsub. The hierarchy separator for the namespaces is / because I am mixing maildir and mbox namespaces and list=yes. The details: I am using a post-login script (attached) that detects all subfolders of /var/spool/mail/Shared for which the current user has at least read access. For every subfolder, it creates a separate namespace with the prefix Shared/mailboxname. The shared mailbox trees are in maildir format. If one of those namespace-prefixes is e.g. Shared/sharedmailbox/, I am able to create Shared/sharedmailbox/test but trying to create Shared/sharedmailbox/test/testsub will fail with the above error. If I set the herarchy separator to '.' even creating Shared/sharedmailbox/test will fail. Any hints?

Yes, I am. I am using
$ENV{NAMESPACE_${nr}_SEP}= /;
... in the post-login script.
The debug log says:

Trying to create Shared/spamrep/test/testsub fails for example...

Yes, thanks! type=public works fine. Another problem is that with dovecot 1.2, Thunderbird shows Shared (the folder that contains all of my dynamically added namespaces) as a real folder, not grey and italic as before. When selecting it, the following message pops up: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: [NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: Shared. Before the dovecot update, Thunderbird didn't show Shared as a real folder, it was greyed out and selecting it didn't cause an IMAP SELECT command. Looking at the imap traffic, thunderbird does a 16 list % ... and dovecot returns Shared without \Noselect: * LIST (\HasChildren) / Shared Is there a way to tell dovecot that this is only the base of my namespaces and that it should include a \Noselect attribute?

Just rmdir it and new/ and tmp/. Now that I removed the cur folder from Shared/spamrep, everything works fine. But could you shed some light on this? If Shared/spamrep/ contains cur/, new/ and tmp/, I'd suspect that dovecot should display Shared/spamrep as a folder but not Shared. Why is Shared/ also missing the \Noselect attribute?

Why is Shared/ also missing the \Noselect attribute? I suppose it's a bug. Two-level namespace prefixes haven't been tested much. I'll see about getting it fixed. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
