hello everyone, i'm new to this list i'm running dovecot as imap+pop (2.1.12) and roundcube (0.8.4) as client. and made a Courier migration following the dovecot wiki.
file/folder structure is as follow:
/home/user/.maildir/cur /home/user/.maildir/.Drafts /home/user/.maildir/.Junk /home/user/.maildir/.Sent /home/user/.maildir/.Trash /home/user/.maildir/.Archive /home/user/.maildir/.Archive.2012 etc...
dovecot.conf configured with prefix = INBOX.
on roundcube config have: $rcmail_config['default_imap_folders'] = array('INBOX', 'INBOX.Drafts', 'INBOX.Sent', 'INBOX.Junk', 'INBOX.Trash');
it seems to work fine with this configuration. but i understand that that 'INBOX.' prefix is not supposed to be there because of the file structure i have on the server.
but, if i remove the INBOX. prefix from both configurations, then roundcube don't recognize special folders, and if i send a new mail, it creates a new folder INBOX.Sent on the file structure, and appears as a tree under INBOX on Roundcube GUI. then i have on my maildir structure two Sent folders: .maildir/INBOX.Sent .maildir/Sent and Roundcube recognize and subscribe to the new created folder as special Sent folder.
i can't figure out why it behaves that way.
any clue? thanks in advance

To clean up the settings you should log out in Roundcube and remove the user record from users table.

special folders seems to be very unstable $rcmail_config['default_imap_folders'] = array('INBOX', 'Drafts', 'Sent', 'Junk', 'Trash');
last week i had a user with a "could not connect to storage"-like message while try delete mails, well the folder is called "trash" on the server and by definition IMAP is NOT case-sensitive, the same for drafts, you have to configure "drafts" manually as special folder
i would say these are bugs and independent how you configure this you can not expect that every client is using the same case-sensitivity

IMAP IS case-sensitive, at least dovecot/cyrus implementation is.

server side, but not on the client test it out with thunderbird and dbmail
thunderbird does not care if you rename any folder to lower, upper, mixed on the server and connect again with TB
i guess two lines code are needed to say
hmm no folder "Trash" but a folder "trash" and use it instead a completly missleading error message

hi, thanks for the reply. if i try this, i'm afraid i could lost the calendar settings of the users. could it be the same if only clean up the 'preferences' from users table?
