[Dovecot] Mixed maildir and mbox folder

[Stefan Klatt]

Hello,

i tried to implement a mixed structure of mbox for spams and spam 
backscatters and maildir for the rest at dovecot 1.0.13.

I used the information at the dovecot wiki:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces (Multiple Mailbox Locations)

But if i try this (complete config is attached with this part)

namespace:
  type: private
  separator: /
  prefix: "#md/"
  location: maildir:/srv/imapd/user/%u/maildir
  inbox: yes
  hidden: yes

namespace:
  type: private
  separator: /
  location: mbox:/srv/imapd/user/%u/Spam

thunderbird can't open a maildir folder:-( The msg is " Mailbox doesn't 
exist: XXXX"

If i use this version:

namespace:
  type: private
  separator: /
  location: maildir:/srv/imapd/user/%u/maildir
  inbox: yes

namespace:
  type: private
  separator: /
  prefix: "#mb/"
  location: mbox:/srv/imapd/user/%u/Spam
  hidden: yes

Thunderbird can open maildir folder but no mbox folder.. " Mailbox 
doesn't exist: XXXX" :-(

Where is my fault? Or is this feature first complete implemented at 1.1?
I configured namespaces without hidden like a charme... with hidden i 
run against a wall :-(

Other question... has anybody a script to delete messages older then XY 
days in a mbox file?


Here is my complete config with the first config version:
