Resolved dovecot remove inbox prefix

[TobiasP]

Hi,
I will always use dovecot with plesk and will never switch (back) to courier,

are there any (hidden) repercussions with setting this via a custom config file in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/:

namespace inbox {
  separator = /
  prefix =
  inbox = yes
}

will it break something with how plesk handles the mailboxes or maybe with roundcube? (not that I noticed anything)

cheers,
tobias

Problems can come up when users configure their mailboxes, because mail clients might expect the prefix /INBOX to be there. Server side there should not be any issues.

because mail clients might expect the prefix /INBOX to be there.

AFAIK outlook, IOS uses no prefix per default and I think android and thunderbird try it and figure it out on their own if INBOX needs to be used.
