I'm trying to set up a dovecot server for which mail arrives in an mbox, and mail is stored in a maildir. The wiki (see http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces) refers to this as "Mixed mbox and Maildir". It advises handling this situation by creating two namespaces: one for the mbox and the other for the maildir. Each of these namespaces starts with namespace private {
On the other hand the sample configuration in the documentation puts inbox in a namespace starting with: namespace inbox { # Namespace type: private, shared or public #type = private
It appears that there has been a change in the configuration syntax
after the wiki was written, and that the word following namespace
no longer gives a property of the namespace, but rather its name.
Is this correct? In any case, how should the configuration be modified
to handle mixed mailboxes?
Thanks - jon
