I am trying to use two namespaces to create an "archival" directory that is stored as mboxes (the rest of my tree is all stored as maildirs). However, when I add the second namespace, suddenly Dovecot starts emitting, in response to the LIST command, a second version of the INBOX that is marked as \NoSelect. Here are my namespac definitions... am I doing this wrong?

That's definitely a bug if there are two INBOXes listed. But you didn't say which Dovecot version does this.

Ahh, well, I wasn't sure if I was doing it right.

I'm using Dovecot 2.0.6. Here's the output of dovecot -n:

Just out of curiosity... why is IDLE listed twice in the second CAPABILITY response? A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
