[Dovecot] sieve/dovecot folder separator inconsistency
Hi,
I'm running dovecot 1.0.15 and ran recently into a problem with the folder separators when using sieve scripts.
The server is set to use a slash as a folder separator for all namespaces and announces this correctly when issuing the NAMESPACE command. We are using Ingo (http://www.horde.org/ingo/) of the horde framework to manage our sieve scripts. It creates the folder name / folder path to be used in the sieve scripts based on the result of the NAMESPACE given by the IMAP Server. It therefore created the path separated by slashes ("/").
According to my tests, the delivery agent along with sieve expects the folders to be separated by dots (".") instead of slashes. Is this a correct observation or can this be set using a parameter or something similar?
The result of this otherwise inconsistent behavior is that a client who sticks to the provided namespace creates a folder path which cannot be understood by the deliver process.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Thanks, Daniel

With my last tests / seperator worked with ingo i looked in my ingo prefs but couldnt find relation so i specutlate its bound to general hord/imp prefs perhaps you should ask on the horde/ingo list and/or send more logging details here

I already did. Ingo takes the folder separator out of the namespace information provided by dovecot. Which is a slash in my case. It IMP (the webmail part) works perfectly and displays everything correctly. If I setup a sieve filter to place a mail in a subfolder, ingo creates the following: fileinto "INBOX/mailinglists/discussion/dovecot"; which dovecot does not understand when an email hist this rule. If I however manually change it to fileinto "INBOX.mailinglists.discussion.dovecot";
The same rule works fine. Ingo is behaving like it should, sticking to the namespace given by the server but the delivery agent does not seem to understand slashes as folder separators and gives the following error:
deliver(mayer): 2009-06-05 17:55:11 Info: msgid=<4A293FC0.9030203@couga.net>: Couldn't open mailbox INBOX/mailinglists/discussion/dovecot: Invalid mailbox name

According to http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve -> "Mailbox names with fileinto" this only works for versions 1.1+

ups i am testing with 1.2 beta so you should upgrade Okay apparently my version really does not support what I need. I wrote a small workaround for Ingo which writes the sieve file in a format which can be processed by our dovecot version. I cannot upgrade dovecot at the moment unfortunately.
Thanks for the replies, Daniel
