Out of curiosity, are you using the "autosubscribe" feature of Dovecot
LDA to automatically subscribe people who whatever new folder the
Dovecot LDA automatically creates? It looks like this is the -s flag to
LDA binary in 1.1.3+ or lda_mailbox_autosubscribe in 2.0+ (not sure
exactly what point release...)
I don't have a lot of experience with Evolution but I know Thunderbird
can be difficult when it comes to new folders showing up on the server
that it didn't create. The best you can do is make sure the client gets
automatically subscribed to that new folder and hope that the client
checks the list of subscribed folders (the LSUB IMAP command)
eventually. I would hope that clicking "check/get new mail" would be
enough to trigger that in most clients.

so many areas. When I deliver mail to a subfolder/subbox (e.g. the

yet,
creating it fails, and Evolution still can't get to it. Doing things
the other way around (create it in Evolution first, then deliver to
it) works fine. Seems to be silliness to me. Just wondered if any
Dovecot aspects might be involved ... such as the fact that the case
is different (e.g. "INBOX" in the filesystem, but "Inbox" in
Evolution).
