Hello,
my understanding is that imap attributes are case-sensitive, so
\drafts is not the same as \Drafts.
In cyrus 3.0 normal LIST does not return the special-use flags, unless
they are explicitly requested, or specialusealways: on is explicitly
set - https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/2410 .
In cyrus imap only folders immediately below INBOX can have special
use flags, and there are more restrictions on setting special use
since
https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/commit/657b4ce15f160dd831d03070f5c31b290fdaf905 . For this likely haven't filled a ticket on updating the documentation, probably because I estimated that opening the ticket will not lead anywhere and is therefore lost
time.
I haven't used cvt_xlist_specialuse, however yours prints \spam and as
I already wrote, there is special use flag with that name.
Enjoy!

Hello,
you can use cyradm with setmetadata:
https://www.cyrusimap.org/dev/imap/reference/manpages/systemcommands/cyradm.html#setmetadata . It works the sameway on 3.0, despite the fact the 3.0's documentation is silent on
this.
When making chnages on master, e.g. updating the documengation,
please verify if they are relevant for 3.0 and in such case
backport them.
There is no \spam special use, it is \junk .
Thanks for the hint to the documentation.
I did read a bit more about XLIST, SPECIAL-USE and Annotations and
I found some inconsistent behavior, between IMAP setmetadata command
(imtest),
cvt_xlist_specialuse and cyradm setmetadata
Here the setup for the account user/zrstes1

mamx02.mail.localhost> getmetadata user/zrstes3*

Switching to imtest
a LIST "" "*"

* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Mail/sent

c LIST "" "Mail/sent" RETURN (SPECIAL-USE)

No Special use visible, lets set it via IMAP for an other folder.
d SETMETADATA "Mail/trash" (/private/specialuse "\\Trash")
d OK Completed
e XLIST "" "Mail/trash"
* XLIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "/" Mail/trash
e OK Completed (0.000 secs 1 calls)
f LIST (SPECIAL-USE) "" "*"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "/" Mail/trash
f OK Completed (0.000 secs 8 calls)
Lets check in cyradm again
mamx02.mail.localhost> getmetadata user/zrstes3*
{user/zrstes3/Mail/sent}:
private:
specialuse: \Sent
mamx02.mail.localhost>
Still only the sent folder we configured via cyradm before.
So lets try cvt_xlist_specialuse running with "xlist-drafts: newdrafts"
cvt_xlist_specialuse -C /etc/imapd_be.conf -v user/zrstes3*
will set \drafts for folders named newdrafts
will set \sent for folders named Mail.sent
will set \trash for folders named Mail.trash
will set \junk for folders named Mail.s-spam
will set \spam for folders named Mail.v-spam
be/cvt_xlist_specialuse[3847]: couldn't authenticate to backend

set specialuse \drafts for user.zrstes3.newdrafts
Checking in imtest.
g LIST (SPECIAL-USE) "" "*"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "/" Mail/trash
* LIST (\HasNoChildren \drafts) "/" newdrafts
g OK Completed (0.000 secs 8 calls)
and in cyradm
mamx02.mail.localhost> getmetadata user/zrstes3*
{user/zrstes3/Mail/sent}:
private:
specialuse: \Sent
mamx02.mail.localhost>
I was wondering if the Annotation set by cvt_xlist_specialuse should
be \\ instead of \drafts
so i tried again with "/" as delimiter for xlist-sent, xlist-trash,
xlist-junk, xlist-spam and with
xlist-Drafts: NewDrafts
cvt_xlist_specialuse -C /etc/imapd_be.conf -v user/zrstes3*
will set \drafts for folders named NewDrafts
will set \sent for folders named Mail/sent
will set \trash for folders named Mail/trash
will set \junk for folders named Mail/s-spam
will set \spam for folders named Mail/v-spam
not setting specialuse \drafts for user.zrstes3.NewDrafts, already
exists as user.zrstes3.newdrafts
So what is happening here?
Is cyradm updating the annotation for the admin user cyrus, and not in the
name of the user zrstes3?
Is the special-uses annotation case-sensitive? And should
cvt_xlist_specialuse use \Drafts?

Hi,
We are testing the migration from Cyrus 2.4.20 to 3.0.7
and have discovered a problem with cvt_xlist_specialuse
(migration of the xlist-* options to specialuse annotations).
Below are the important options from the imapd.conf of the current
backends
altnamespace: 1
unixhierarchysep: 1
xlist-sent: Mail.sent
xlist-trash: Mail.trash
xlist-drafts: Mail.drafts
xlist-junk: Mail.v-spam
xlist-spam: Mail.v-spam
specialusealways: 1
--- default ----
virtdomains: off
cvt_xlist_specialuse did only output
will set \drafts for folders named Mail.drafts
will set \sent for folders named Mail.sent
will set \trash for folders named Mail.trash
will set \junk for folders named Mail.s-spam
will set \spam for folders named Mail.v-spam
but was not able to find any mailboxes to update the annotation.
First we suspected that with the changed default setting for
unixhierarchysep
the format of xlist- Options might have changed to unixhierarchysep as
well.
But setting
xlist-sent: Mail/sent
xlist-trash: Mail/trash
xlist-drafts: Mail/drafts
xlist-junk: Mail/v-spam
xlist-spam: Mail/v-spam
did only change the output of cvt_xlist_specialuse to
will set \drafts for folders named Mail/drafts
will set \sent for folders named Mail/sent
will set \trash for folders named Mail/trash
will set \junk for folders named Mail/s-spam
will set \spam for folders named Mail/v-spam
but it still didn't find any mailboxes to update the annotations.
After changing the xlist- option to a direct folder of the INBOX e.g.
Mail
cvt_xlist_specialuse was able to find the folder and set the
annotation.
Is there a way to set the specialuse annotations with cyradm or perl
script?
