Re: [Dovecot] irregular problem on outlook + imap
Quoting Michele Petrazzo - Unipex :
* LSUB () "." " folder.with.dots and spaces and numbers"
[snip]
lylu APPEND "folder.with.dots and spaces and numbers" (\Seen)
"30-Nov-2009 10:34:00 +0100" {280844}
lylu NO [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn't exist: folder.with.dots and spaces
and numbers
This means it doesn't really exist, even though it's subscribed.
Do you know when/why this can happen?
The IMAP4rev1 spec specifically allows for a mailbox to be subscribed
without existing. The list of subscribed mailboxes has nothing to do
with the list of existing mailboxes (in other words, the results from
LSUB are not a subset of the results from LIST).

On the maildir home (maildir:~/mail/), it's present the folder.with.dots
and spaces and numbers and the same into the "subscriptions" file
Yes
Are you sure it's really in the ~/mail/ directory exactly the same? You
could try also talking IMAP directly:
telnet localhost 143
a login user pass
b list "" "folder.with.dots*"
Is it listed?
No! But since it's passed some days, my customer modify / rename and
delete some folders and I don't know if because he touch that folders or
because there is a problem. Tomorrow I'll call him and I'll let you know.
Thanks a lot,
Michele

Mail to me from, say, "smith" was stored as ~/Mail/smith; mail from "jones" was stored as ~/Mail/jones. In early '08, using dovecot, that became ~Maildir/.smith/* and ~/Maildir/.jones/*.

Hi Folks,
This may relate to one of the few problems I see with dovecot.
This had nothing to do with outlook; rather mutt or kmail.
A couple years ago, sendmail delivered my mail to
~/Mail/ and I could cd to ~/Mail and grep and find the
string(s) sought.
Dovecot seems to save its mail on my mailserver as
~/Mailbox//*. What do I change in the conf file to
get rid of the directory DOT prefixes?
If there is any documentation on this, please point me at it?

Are you sure it's really in the ~/mail/ directory exactly the same? You
could try also talking IMAP directly:
telnet localhost 143
a login user pass
b list "" "folder.with.dots*"
Is it listed?
Anyway it should work fine:
a create "folder.with.dots and spaces and num1234"
a OK Create completed.
b append "folder.with.dots and spaces and num1234" {10}
+ OK
From: foo
b OK Append completed.
