I have been using dovecot+squirrelmail with no problems on my Fedora box
(currently at F10). I've been using a simple mail location string along the
lines of 'mbox:~/usr/mail/%u:INBOX=mbox:/var/spool/mail/%u' (sorry, that's
off the top of my head, I can't get into my box from here at the moment).
Essentially: standard mbox inbox in /var/spool/mail/[user], plus mbox
files under ~/usr/mail. These latter are for remote access to archived
Thunderbird files, which are [currently] mbox format. This works fine.
However, I've had some slight issues elsewhere which I feel would be
eased or solved by making my INBOX use maildir format, and keeping mails I
want to remote-access more often in the top level maildir there (instead of
always having to dip into the TB mboxes). To that end, I tried setting up:
# want to be able to add sibling and child folders here
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
location = /var/spool/mail/%u
inbox = yes
hidden = no
list = yes
}
# And the legacy mbox files go here under 'local'
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = local/
location = mbox:~/usr/mail
hidden = no
list = yes
}
(with appropriate an procmail change for maildir delivery)
Now, this pretty much worked the way I wanted. However, afterwards,
trying to connect from squirrelmail I had it say that there were no [IMAP]
folders to subscribe to, including the INBOX.
I couldn't se any errors, either in /var/log/maillog or http's logs.
Have I got something wrong? Am I trying to do something that's doomed to
failure?
