Hello, This is an update on what I have done so far on this issue. It seems to be working nicely on a test server, but I'm not brave enough to make the changes on a production server, and I do not know if the file would be overwritten during an update or not. The change I made makes it possible for unlimited subfolders within subfolders, etc. The one file I edited is /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf I changed mail_location = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=mbox to : mail_location = mbox:~/mail/mailboxes:DIRNAME=mBoX-MeSsAgEs:INDEX=~/mail/index:CONTROL=~/mai l/control
I found a whole article on why this works, I'm posting the URL in the message too: https://opensource.apple.com/source/dovecot/dovecot-279/dovecot/doc/wiki/Mbo xChildFolders.txt On the test server, the test user has the mbox as a file just like normal, but there is a mail directory there now. In the mail directory there are 3 further directories control, index, and mailboxes. In the mailboxes directory you would find all the other directories that you create under outlook. The other thing I didn't test is RoundCube since this is a test server and I didn't purchase it just to mess around :) So I don't know how it will react to this change, if someone else is wanting to test it out, please let me know your findings.
