Ah, yes, that must be it. This was using squirrelmail as the mail client, and apparently I didn't change the namespace there after the migration. I'll try and do that now. For the INBOX.* files, I believe squirrelmail was also configured to adjust for that. If I delete the .subscription files for all users, will dovecot automatically rebuild them, so I can create a sed script to rename all the INBOX.* files to remove the INBOX. part? Thanks, Alex
