It was in my TODO for a while, but no-one has yet told me why they
need/want this.

[Dovecot] Subscribe to root of Maildir namespace?

[Adam Tilghman]

Our users currently make use of a single namespace, mbox format:

namespace private {
  separator = /
  prefix = 
  hidden = no 
  inbox = yes
  location = 
mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/spool/poptemp/dovecot/%u
}

I'd like to give them access to additional Maildir-format storage area,
so to the above I've added:

namespace private {
  separator = /
  prefix = archive/
  hidden = no
  location = 
maildir:/newmail/%-3.3i/%u/:INDEX=/var/spool/poptemp/dovecot/%u.a-thumper-mail
} 

I can set up subfolders of archive/, and they work as expected.  
I can also designate the root of archive/ as INBOX and that works properly.
But SUBSCRIBE archive fails.

Is it possible to subscribe to the root of this new Maildir heirarchy as
if it were just another folder?  If not, would this be a useful feature to add?

Thanks,
