Mailbox doesn't allow inferior mailboxes #2

Closed nikall closed 6 years ago

nikall commented 6 years ago

Hi,

Just used your script to backup my imap/pop3 server mailboxes and I got the error above from dsync trying to backup a specific user mailbox. This happens only with this specific user because there is a folder created (by the user) using their mail client (they have created a Archives folder below Inbox).

Error: Can't create mailbox Archives/2018: Mailbox doesn't allow inferior mailboxes

In my dovecot file I have enabled the LAYOUT=fs option which supposedly should solve this issue but without any improvement.

Could you please help me ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

please see:
https://help.bittitan.com/hc/en-us/articles/115008253328-Mailbox-doesn-t-allow-inferior-mailboxes

It seems to be a problem/BUG of Dovecot.

Maybe you can solve this, by changing the folder structure or move the
email from a main folder to a defined subfolder?

Hi,
