Re: [Dovecot] Virtual mailbox plugin, 4 days of struggling
Hi Brandon,
judging from your other posts, I think you made some progress on this
already. Nonetheless, I will share my working virtual config here. In
dovecot.conf I have:
# Virtual mailboxes
namespace private {
# list = no
prefix = virtual/
separator = /
# Store virtual mailbox in a virtual subdirectory. We use the fs layout,
# so nesting of mailboxes is done using normal filesystem nesting.
location = virtual:~/Mail/virtual:LAYOUT=fs
}
protocol imap {
# Enable virtual mailboxes
mail_plugins = virtual
Then, in ~/Mail/virtual I have a directory for each virtual mailbox, which
contains a dovecot-virtual file. For example,
~/Mail/virtual/INBOX/dovecot-virtual contains:
INBOX
INBOX/Lists
INBOX/Bulk
INBOX/MaybeSpam
Folders/TODO
all
(Where INBOX and subfolders refers to the INBOX folder in the default
namespace, with no prefix, which also has inbox = yes set). This allows me to
view all my new mail by connecting to imaps://host/virtual/INBOX, and only see
important mail on my phone by connecting to imaps://host/INBOX, i.e., my real
inbox).
I hope this helps a bit,
Matthijs

Thanks for the reply! I will go try this, I stuck Allmail under the
virtual directory and i have gotten some things to partially work, but
I will try your setup and see where it gets me!

Oh wait, dangit, this is what I have now, I misread this.
I cant seem to get the inthread x-references2 x-mailbox INBOX to work.
I setup an Allmail under /virtual with * and all as the search, then
created Inbox2 using virtual/Allmail and inthread x-references2
x-mailbox INBOX but it gives a server bug. Not sure if that is very
clear or not.
