"NOTIFY SET (mailboxes INBOX (...))" crashes the IMAP client

[Guilhem Moulin]

Hi list,

The NOTIFY extension (RFC 5465) works fine for mailboxes in the "virtual/"
namespace, but it crashes the IMAP client when used with a mailbox in
the empty "" namespace:

    ~$ /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
    * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 … NOTIFY SPECIAL-USE] Logged in as guilhem
    a NAMESPACE
    * NAMESPACE (("" "/")("virtual/" "/")) NIL NIL
    a OK Namespace completed.
    b NOTIFY SET (mailboxes virtual/all (MessageNew MessageExpunge))
    b OK NOTIFY completed (0.001 secs).
    c NOTIFY SET (mailboxes INBOX (MessageNew MessageExpunge))
    imap(guilhem): Panic: file mail-namespace.c: line 679 
(mail_namespace_find): assertion failed: (ns != NULL)
    imap(guilhem): Error: Raw backtrace: …
    Aborted

The "subtree" mailbox filter has the same problem, but the
non-parameterized ones ("inboxes", "personal" and "subscribed") work
fine.

You'll find the output of ‘dovecot -n’ enclosed.
Cheers,
