<p>I recently upgraded my server from 2.2 to the cyrus-imapd-2.4.17-caldav-beta10 release built from source. </p>
<p>One of the goals is to share "Notes" between various iDevices and this requires a "Notes" folder at the root level, necessitating "altnamespace=yes"</p>
<p>I had to convert my sieve scripts over (deleting INBOX. as it was throwing errors), so I know at least part of the installation is using the altnamespace.</p>
<p>What got me looking is when I use the managesieve plugin to Roundcube, it creates new rules (that don't work) with folder names of "INBOX.xxx". I dug around and nowhere in their source is there a namespace or root setting, so I went back to the IMAP protocol.</p>
<p>With "altnamespace:yes", when I login and list folders, I get:</p>
<p>a1 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID ENABLE ACL RIGHTS=kxte QUOTA MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDPLUS NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND BINARY CATENATE CONDSTORE ESEARCH SORT SORT=MODSEQ SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES ANNOTATEMORE LIST-EXTENDED WITHIN QRESYNC SCAN XLIST X-REPLICATION URLAUTH URLAUTH=BINARY LOGINDISABLED COMPRESS=DEFLATE IDLE] User logged in ></p>
<p>a2 list "" *<br />* LIST (\HasChildren) "." INBOX<br />* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.0 Junk - Missed"<br />* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.0 Junk - Wrong"</p>
<p>NAMESPACE is also identical between them.</p>
<p>* NAMESPACE (("INBOX." ".")) (("user." ".")) (("" "."))</p>
<p>Ditto for when I start it with altnamespace set to no.</p>
<p>From other examples on Google, it would seem "INBOX." shouldn't be there with it enabled.</p>
<p>That would explain why Roundcube generates the sieve rules with INBOX in the folder names.</p>
<p>What am I missing? Did I forget to do something after I turned it on?</p>
<p>Really confused.</p>
<p>Thanks for any assistance!</p>
