You can also use
namespace virtual {
location=virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual/:CONTROL=~/virtual/....}
so you put the folder definitions under /etc and per-user indexes end up under
user home. ---Aki TuomiDovecot oy

question
“For each virtual directory you need to create a dovecot-virtual file. Its
syntax is like:”
OK, where does this file get created?
Say I want the users to have a virtual mailbox that is messages received in the
last month, does that file go into each user'
s Maildir path?
It sounds like I have to create a virtual folder for each user, then any
folders inside that folders, and then the config files in each of the sub
folders.
user1/Maildir/virtual/month/dovecot-virtualuser1/Maildir/virtual/week/dovecot-virtualuser1/Maildir/virtual/flagged/dovecot-virtualuser1/Maildir/virtual/Amazon/dovecot-virtualuser2/Maildir/virtual/month/dovecot-virtualuser2/Maildir/virtual/week/dovecot-virtualuser2/Maildir/virtual/flagged/dovecot-virtualuser2/Maildir/virtual/Amazon/dovecot-virtual
Yes?
If so, is there anyway to have a "global”virtual that applies to all users (but
not that unifies the mail between users or anything like that).
Also, will virtual mailboxes show up automatically for the user in the folder
list or will they have to specifically subscribe to them? (Assuming they use a
client that allows subscribing instead of auto showing all mailboxes like iOS).
˜kremels/ $ cat Maildir/virtual/month/dovecot-vitual #
~/Maildir/virtual/month/dovecot-virtualINBOXwork/* all younger 2678400
That should create a mailbox "month” in a folder named "virtual” that shows all
the messages from the last 31d, yes? And I should be able to access that
mailbox in a MUA like Roundcube or <spit>Thunderbird?
-- My main job is trying to come up with new and innovative and effective ways
to reject even more mail. I'm up to about 97% now.
