Package: dovecot-imapd
Version: 1:2.1.7-4
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Seems every major update of this becomes a big reconfiguration problem. Needs
a saner update of configuration if things change requiring this!
Apparently, namespaces are now required. OK, did doveconf -n and pasted in new
items. This gave me one namespace with prefix =
The server would not start, called out duplicate empty prefix.
The only way I could get my IMAP back was to give it one.
Now it does, indeed work, but kmail kicks at whatever prefix I place there.
Get an error box:
Error while querying the server status.
Unable to open folder david. The server replied: Mailbox doesn't exist: david
"david" is the username in prefix = %u/mail (for want of anything more
illuminating).
Error is harmless, non-functional but a royal pain.
Since such a mail folder does exist (from pop3 days), it shows in kmail!
I enclose the output of doveconf
