Thank you very much for the reply!
I checked the mail_location in the dovecot.conf, it says
maildir:/var/dovecotmail/%n/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs , so that should be ok.
the commands gave me this:
A01 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH] Logged in
A02 NAMESPACE
* NAMESPACE (("" "/")) NIL NIL
A02 OK Namespace completed.
so, yeah, the namespace is not set? though i´m not relly sure what I
should set in it. Since every user is only supposed to use his account,
i thought i could ignore the whole thing regarding private and shared
namespaces etc... ^_^;
best regards and thanks for any further info =)
bye
