Hi list, Daniel,
Finalle got around to try this out. I need to use the same
username/password as with the dovecot main mailbox, so I dedited your
config sample like this:
imapc_host = old.mail.server
imapc_user = %u
imapc_password = %w
namespace {
type = private
separator = /
prefix = oldmail/
location = imapc:
inbox = no
hidden = no
list = yes
}
However the %w is not expanded to the users password, but instead "%w"
is tried as a password, and therefore obviously things fail.
Without adding imapc_user / imapc_password, I get the following error:
imap(username): Error: user username: Initialization failed: Namespace
'oldmail/': imapc: missing imapc_password
How can I get the %w to expand properly, because I think then things
would work...?
Regards,
Mourik Jan
I would try to create a private namespace "oldmail"
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Namespaces
with an imapc proxy
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ImapcProxy
I didn't test it, but configuration could look like this:
imapc_host = oldmailserver
namespace {
type = private
separator = /
prefix = oldmail/
location = imapc:
inbox = no
hidden = no
list = yes
}
