Invalid mailbox name
I'm trying to access a Dovecop IMAP maildir, but no matter what I specify as the maildir I get the error "Exception: folder Maildir: Mailbox doesn't exist: Maildir".
--remote-folder="Maildir"
In my installation I have the following setup:
/var/vmail/[email protected]/Maildir/
In that there is cur/ new/ tmp/ .INBOX.Drafts/ .INBOX.Sent/ .INBOX.Trash/ .Queue/
How do I fetch all that then?
When you connect with a "normal" IMAP client, what is the folder named? I'm guessing "INBOX" is what you'll want for --remote-folder. The actual location on the server's filesystem doesn't necessarily have any bearing on how the IMAP server presents the mailbox structure. -rt

Thanks, using "INBOX" worked and subfoldes had to be loaded using "INBOX.Foo"
Is it possible to somehow fetch subfolders in one go? "INBOX.*" doesn't work.
The lack of UTF-8 would be a bug, most likely! I don't think I'm doing anything that should break it, but Python 2.x unicode support is painful at best. :-( Which version of Python are you using, and could you send a sample message demonstrating the problem (no personal information please!) as Maildir files from both the server and imap2maildir?
Right now, imap2maildir will only pull one folder at a time. (IMAP doesn't have a concept of "subfolders" so each folder stands alone.) This is a somewhat common feature request. Patches are very welcome, since it's unlikely I'll get a chance to add it any time soon.

I looked into the UTF-8 issue, but it is not caused by imap2maildir. I found that dovecot below version 2.1 doesn't store mail in UTF-8 - so the issue is dovecot related. However, reading the downloaded mail using mutt, solves the problem.
About subfolders.. If I get the time I'll look into the issue and see if I can make a useable patch. Been a while since I hacked with Python.
