MAILBOXDIR: Ah, another directive which may appear in a location specification.

So far I can remember:

INBOX INDEX MAILBOXDIR

and I think there is at least one I can't remember.

Is there in the documentation a comprehensive list of these directives which may appear in a location specification, what they do, how their behaviour might differ between mailbox types etc. ?

This is correct. So why aren't you using it?..

This is wrong.

...

Server Responded: "CANNOT] Can't rename mailboxes across specified storages."

This is expected with the wrong configuration.

...

when try to delete the same folder again.

Server Responded: "NONEXISTENT] Mailbox was deleted under us"

This is still a bug .. I'll see about fixing it.

Yes it is a bug, in my opinion. Location should allow any where within the mail home dir.

Based on the doc here we should be able to use mixed storage types mbox maildir etc

http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces

if location is set to following, we get error prompt via client too.

location = maildir:~/mdbox/expunged

I have mail_location dynamically set in the database....we only convert few user to mdbox to start with. So mixed storage would be nice.

Forgot to mention.

If we select prefix. .EXPUNGE imap generate a core dump.
