Re: namespace...mailbox doesn't exist

[Timo Sirainen]

So there is no such folder as "projects.projects"? I don't know why Thunderbird 
would try to open it then. Maybe it wasn't Dovecot upgrade but Thunderbird 
upgrade that started breaking it?

You could also see if LSUB "" * lists a "projects.projects".

Try talking IMAP protocol to see what's actually happening here:

telnet localhost 143
a login user pass
b list "" *

Also what's actually supposed to exist under the projects? ls -a 
/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.tld/shared/projects ?

I tried that and am sad to say it did not work. Hmmm...

Hello list,

I have a namespace called 'projects' which when clicked in

The namespace is configure as follows:

  ^^ IMHO first try to give that namespace a name, e.g.

namespace projects {


  location = maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.tld/shared/projects
  prefix = projects.
  separator = .
  type = public
}

started happening with the upgrade. While it is not
a serious problem and I can live with it, what would be causing it in
