We have a need for some users to have an additional folder created
and
subscribed for them.

Is is possible to return an override for the default "namespace
inbox"
containing the needed mailbox definitions in the userdb lookup for
such users? If so, how would the userdb lookup result be
formatted?
Presumably as

Yes, see here:

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields

Each setting ist one "Extra Field"

just one long string, but how would the setting be named given
there

can't be a space in it? Can I replace the space with an
underscore,
e.g.

userdb_namespace_inbox = '{ mailbox Drafts { auto=subscribe
special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Trash { auto=subscribe
special_use =

\Trash } }'

sort of:

userdb_namespace/inbox/mailbox/Drafts/auto=subscribe

see also:

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with this task.

Dovecot 2.2.27

Trying to have an "Important" folder get created and subscribed for
only
some users. When I put this into my dovecot config file it works as
needed (other folders omitted for brevity):

namespace inbox {
 mailbox Trash {
  auto=subscribe
  special_use = \Trash
 }
 mailbox Important {
  auto=subscribe
 }
}

But I don't want to do it globally, so put it into the userdb
lookup:

SELECT .... 'subscribe' AS
'namespace/inbox/mailbox/Important/auto' ...

WHERE ...

I confirmed that the correct query is executing and I know it works because other userdb fields are populated correctly. But the folder
does
not get created. For passdb lookups:

SELECT .... 'subscribe' AS
'userdb_namespace/inbox/mailbox/Important/auto' ... WHERE ...

I'd appreciate help/tips.
Whats the output of doveadm user <username> ?

Oh I did not know this doveadm command, thank you!

Output included all my other userdb fields as well as this:

namespace/inbox/mailbox/Important/auto     subscribe

Just a polite ping on this problem. Folder auto-creation isn't
working with folders specified as part of the userdb lookup. Help
appreciated.

Can you change config to

mail_debug=yes

and provide logs for a single session?

Sorry to return so much later. I can provide full logs, but it looks
like this is what you're looking for:

Mar 14 01:26:24 mail dovecot: imap(u...@example.com): Debug: Unknown
userdb setting: plugin/namespace/inbox/mailbox/Important/auto=subscribe

Is it the "plugin/" on front? As you see with my doveadm result above,
I don't think I caused that to be placed there. Any further guidance?
userdb_namespace/inbox/mailbox=Important
userdb_namespace/inbox/mailbox/Important/name=Important
userdb_namespace/inbox/mailbox/Important/auto=create

Am I to understand that I'll need all three of these? It makes sense, though the Important/name=Important is a bit awkward - wondering, is this documented anywhere I may have missed?

Also if you want to create multiple mailboxes, you can use
mailbox=Important,SecondBox,SomeOtherBox and add settings for them. The
important one is the 'name' setting.

Good tip, thank you.
