Hi everyone,
I noticed that if I specify the following pattern in dovecot-virtual
for my Virtual/Unseen mailbox, mails in INBOX are excluded:
*
-Drafts
-Trash
-Junk
-Sent
-Virtual/*
UNSEEN
It returns with 23 mails:
a EXAMINE Virtual/Unseen
* 23 EXISTS
* 23 RECENT
* OK [UNSEEN 1] First unseen.
But when I add INBOX additionally after "*", the number grows to 42:
a EXAMINE Virtual/Unseen
* 42 EXISTS
* 42 RECENT
* OK [UNSEEN 1] First unseen.
Is it expected that "*" doesn't include INBOX by default? As I see,
the rest of the mailboxes within the same root (/) namespace are
included by default.
Config:
namespace inbox {
separator = /
inbox = yes
mail_path = %{home}/mail
mail_index_path = %{home}/index/inbox
mailbox INBOX {
auto = subscribe
}
mailbox Trash {
special_use = \Trash
auto = subscribe
}
[...]
}
Dovecot version: 2.4.1.
Thank you,
Ákos

Hi Ákos
I would expect * to include INBOX and I would expect that if * and INBOX
are both specified that the result would be the same as specifying only *
I would also not have expected the need to exclude "Virtual/*" and if
you do need to exclude it (so * is picking up Virtual too) then that
could point to some issue in the virtual configuration.
I'm basing my experience on 2.3 as I haven't tried virtual plugin on 2.4
yet.
