Question by a person: >But are the IMAP folders subscribed to or available for subscription? That's something to consider.

Sep 2018 dovecot-uidvalidity.5b9d20a7 -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 0 15. Sep 2018 dovecot-acl-list I explicitly subscribed to the hidden folders via webmail. The "subscriptions" section then looks like this: .Archive .Drafts .INBOX.Fail2ban .INBOX.vzdump .Junk .Quarantine .Sent .Trash Trash Sent In the webmail interface or in my case in KMail, the folder structure looks like this: Systemmails Dovecot24 |-.Archive |-.Dafts |-.INBOX.Fail2ban |-.INBOX.vzdump |-.Junk |-.Quarantine |-.Sent |-.Trash |-Posteingang |-Trash |-Sent For the old server with Dovecot 2.3, it looks like this: Systemmails Dovecot23 |-Archive |-Dafts |-Posteingang |-Fail2ban |-vzdump |-Junk |-Quarantine |-Sent |-Trash That's the issue. Users get completely confused when they - firstly, can no longer see their previous emails and folders - secondly, are expected to subscribe to everything they've received so far - thirdly, are expected to rewrite Sieve scripts or other client filters. And what does that look like? Where previously subfolders were located directly under "Inbox," there's now an ".INBOX.Subfolder." All previously sent emails are now in ".Sent," including any subfolders, and newly sent emails are stored in a newly created "Sent" folder. Perhaps this clarifies what I need to solve. We're talking about just this one mail server with 20-30 domains and several thousand email accounts, not to mention the individual folder structure conventions. Do you have any ideas on how to implement this? ByteMe _______________________________________________ dovecot mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
