dovecot sees ~/Maildir, seeks folders in ~/ on Lenny (OK on Etch)
I've got dovecot set up on an Etch box to use maildirs, with folders
under ~/Maildir.
The same setup on Lenny finds a user's INBOX in their ~/Maildir but
doesn't find any other folders - instead it looks for them in the user's
home directory.
The users' filesystem is the same: it is hosted on the Lenny box and
exported to the Etch box. I have fiddled with /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
and even copied over the config file from the working Etch box.
I've also tried deleting the ~/Maildir/dovecot.index* files.
I've tested with icedove (thunderbird) and sylpheed on the Etch box
(accessing the dovecot server on the Lenny box) and icedove and mutt on
the Lenny box itself.
I've got `mail_debug = yes` in dovecot.conf but don't get anything
useful in syslog

I'm getting to the point of thinking maybe it's a bug with dovecot
itself (although Googling for dovecot debian lenny Maildir bug doesn't
pick up anything like what I'm experiencing) and, as a way of checking
this, I wonder if I could install the Etch version on the Lenny box.

Odd, I have a similar setup on Lenny and things work fine.
My versions of dovecot:
b...@rei:/etc/dovecot$ aptitude --disable-columns -F '%p %V' search
'~i~ndovecot'
dovecot-common 1:1.0.15-2.3
dovecot-imapd 1:1.0.15-2.3
My dovecot.conf:
protocols = imap imaps managesieve
disable_plaintext_auth = yes
log_timestamp = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

mail_location =

}

protocol lda {

mail_plugins = cmusieve
}
plugin {
sieve = ~/.sieve/active
}
protocol managesieve {
listen = *:2000
sieve_storage = ~/.sieve
sieve = ~/.sieve/active
}
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
passdb pam {
}
userdb passwd {
}
user = root
}
dict {
}
plugin {
}
I seem to remember having to fiddle with the 'namespace' section to get
things to work correctly, but I could really tell you why.
