hm, ok, this is what i got from the TEST_s: A003 LSUB "" "*%" A003 OK Lsub completed. A004 LIST "*" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2006" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2004" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2005.Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".Junk" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2007.Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2004.Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2006.Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2007" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2010" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2009" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".Templates" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2009.Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2010.Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2008" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2008.Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" ".2005" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" A004 OK List completed. so, it sees the .<Whatever>-directories, and wants to have an INBOX? imagines an INBOX? something like that?^^; the designated Maildir-directory has the following content: drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-26 10:14 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 137 2011-08-26 10:14 dovecot-keywords -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 39833 2011-08-26 10:14 dovecot-uidlist drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 81920 2011-08-26 10:14 new -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 0 2011-08-26 10:14 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-26 10:14 tmp (and also, obviously, the .<whatever>-folders listed above) =) i´m afraid i didn´t really understand your last paragraph. Did you mean the IMAP-server-setting (set to dovecot) is not used to directly interact with dovecot? i did set the "Set pre-defined settings for specific IMAP servers" to dovecot, and it tells me this (which seems to be the same as the setting in "2. Server Settings") imap_server_type = dovecot default_folder_prefix = <none> trash_folder = Trash sent_folder = Sent draft_folder = Drafts show_prefix_option = false default_sub_of_inbox = false show_contain_subfolders_option = false optional_delimiter = detect delete_folder = false best regards silvana > Your Dovecot namespace configuration matches settings used for SquirrelMail > dovecot preset. > > '(("" "/")) NIL NIL' means that you have personal folders without prefix, > '/' is folder delimiter for personal namespace and you don't use shared or > public folders.
