Hello,
Horde (http://horde.org) has the ability to store its preferences direct into a
users imap mailbox
using imap metadata extension. There are two implementations of the imap
extension.
1. a dovecot plugin: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-metadata-plugin
2. dovecot itself:
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-November/093243.html
I setup Horde and dovecot-2.2.5 to use this extension and it works well using
1.)
Now, with dovecot-2.2.9, the plugin fail to compile (unrelated problem on my
side).
So I tried 2.) But here I get a Horde-Error "Error in IMAP command GETMETADATA:
Invalid arguments."
I enables mail_debug but saw no helpfull logging.
mail_attribute_dict = file:/tmp/%Lu/dovecot-attributes
remote horde.testserver.ip/32 {
imap_metadata = yes
mail_debug = yes
}
Also I created directory /tmp/$my_login_id (mode 777) but dovecot also created
no files.
neither it logs anything about it.
This is a sample imap session generated by horde:
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE
AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready.

4 GETMETADATA "*" (/shared/vendor/kolab/folder-type)
4 BAD Error in IMAP command GETMETADATA: Invalid arguments.
5 LOGOUT

Are there any hints or is the metadata extension just not fully implemented in
dovecot?
Thanks,
Andreas
