Part 2 of 2, continuing where I reached in the Part 1. I would like to post my current maildrop configuration that consists of the main .mailfilter with includes. So even if it doesn't, strictly speaking, belong here, I'll post it here, else I won't post it at all.

MYFOLDER is just underneath Maildir. MY2FOLDER is one more level underneath, and F2MK is for Folder to (2 means 'to' here) MaKe. Aweful lot of benign errors thown out as maildrop churns the mails given it by getmail... I tried, wrapping the maildirmakes in conditional clause like this: if ( ! `${DEFAULT}.${MYFOLDER}.$MY2FOLDER.$F2MKlevel3` ) { ... } but it didn't help. There is lots of output of "File exists" and "No such file or directory" errors... But its' benign errors. I don't know if I missed something. Oh yes I did, but can I expand the issue now here? I'm tired, but if I don't do it now, it'll be even harder later... So... It's the issues with namespace/imaps, the interaction of Mutt and Dovecot. I already posted my dovecot configuration, it is still as there. It might be: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-October/092810.html or around there (remember that I'm, as usual, and for the reasons explained already, preparing this text offline). This is the only way how I can get into, say: ~me/Maildir/.mirorovis@croatiafidelishr/cur/ I mean there is just no way to get it other than via file browsing, there is no way to find it, to open it and view it browsing the Dovecot server provided imaps://me@myboxA/this/or/that ... If I start here, which I already posted on the Dovecot mailing list (the link above): y:Exit c:Chdir m:Mask ?:Help 1 IMAP + INBOX/ 2 IMAP + mirorovis@croatiafidelishr/ 3 IMAP + mirovis@inethr/ 4 IMAP + mrovis@inethr/ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ / / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ -- Mutt: Directory [imaps://me@mybox2/], File mask: !^\.[^.] and if I simply hit enter on line: 2 IMAP + mirorovis@croatiafidelishr/ what opens is: y:Exit c:Chdir m:Mask ?:Help 1 IMAP ../ 2 IMAP dovecotdovecotorg 3 IMAP @muttorg 4 IMAP postfix-users@postfixorg 5 IMAP support@plushr /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ / / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ -- Mutt: Directory [=mirorovis@croatiafidelishr/], File mask: !^\.[^.] but there is no way in the imaps:// browser to view the main folder =mirorovis@croatiafidelishr/, I can only vew just those subfolders...

[[ Another note upon proofreading: The error is the missing Cc. Instead of: if ( /^(To|From):.*@mutt.org/ ) there needs to be: if ( /^(To|From|Cc):.*@mutt.org/ ) ]] But I leave this in case some newbie mistakes me for expert which I am certainly not, so that they have this as warning to beware of other possible mistakes of mine... Just as the "Mail delivery failed..." lines are there due to my mistakes... So my question is how do I solve this, how do I get all that is in my folders through imaps:// ? Besides the question of what to change to get John Niendorf's mail in proper place [[ note: which has been solved ]]... Aargh.. I know, it's because he addressed it to me, not only to the list!... No big deal, but it's not urgent anymore... That was one issue, and there is the other issue, and it is with folders when browsed with imaps:// often being readonly and showing this error on the command line in bottom: Mailbox is read-only What did I configure wrong, or what am I missing? Is is the Dovecot's fault, the read-only thing? I'm now really tired. I'll try and proofread the entire text (note: I just did), but if I miss something (note: I sure did, but I must be forgiven because I just died in the process ;-), pls. look up the follow-ups to this mail, because I am exhausted and can't wait to see the end of this message. Miroslav Rovis, Zagreb, Croatia [[ The note concerning the last correction. This mail wasn't sent a few hours ago upon the first attempt. It seems to me now that this line in the /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf, which was: root=miro.ro...@croatiafidelis.hr caused my local mail to be sent to there, which cause the server, the mail hub to not accept any further mail, and there were many, because every time the maildirmake creates a dir it sends a notification. So I hope this messaga will now be sent, with that line being: root= Because this sSMTP is a real stripdown program, really no local mail handling whatsoever. Anything that gets to it will be sent the same way... ]]
