I have played around with this quite a bit, and all I get is an empty virtual 
mailbox. I've renamed the prefix to "virtual." "v." and "smart." with no change 
in behavior, the mailbox name changes, but no messages show up.

The file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/virtual/month/dovecot-vitual is owned by root 
and has permissions 644 as does the file 
/usr/local/etc/dovecot/virtual/week/dovecot-vitual.

I've even tried creating a milder in the home folder matching the name of the 
virtual prefix, though I did not expect that to work.

I reloaded and restarted dovecot many times.

Regardless of settings, doveadm shows no messages in the virtual mailboxes, 
though they do who up in 

 # doveadm mailbox list -u kremels
@virtual
@virtual.day
@virtual.month

 # doveadm search mailbox "@virtua" -u kremels 
doveadm(kremels): Error: Couldn't get mailbox '@virtua' GUID: Mailbox doesn't 
exist: @virtua
 # doveadm search mailbox "@virtual" -u kremels 
 # doveadm search mailbox "@virtual.day" -u kremels 
 # 

So, doveadm certainly knows the mailboxes are there, they just don't have 
messages in them.

I'm at a loss as to what to check next as it seems the paths and permissions to 
the dovecot-virtual files must be OK, since they are being read to create the 
virtual folders. So, i assume I have something wrong gin the content, but

The behavior isn’t any different if the prefix is “virtual.” instead of 
“@virtual.”

Any clues on this? As far as I can tell from the documentation and the list 
this should work, but it is not.

So far so good.

Do the dovecot-vitual files require certain permissions? They are 644 and owned 
by root:wheel

I don’t see any errors on starting dovecot.

Hi there!

I've had success using "doveadm mailbox list" to verify that my virtual 
mailboxes are showing up,
and using "doveadm search mailbox $VIRTUAL_MAILBOX" to print out which mails 
are in a folder.

Virtual Mailboxes redux

[@lbutlr]

I’ve created virtual mailboxes in dovecot, and they show up in various clients, 
but the folders contain no messages. (I will get an ‘empty” folder icon named 
“@virtual” and an empty folder icon named “month” inside it. Is there a way I 
can verify what dovecot THINKS should be in the virtual folder via doveadm?
