[FIX] Initialization failed: namespace configuration error: inbox=yes namespace missing

[SS88]

If you receive this error (it also stops you from logging into your emails):

Code: Select all

Initialization failed: namespace configuration error: inbox=yes namespace missing

Open up /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf and add in:

Code: Select all

inbox = yes

inbetween namespace inbox { }

Hey! Thanks for posting this info.

It fixed my dovecot login issue. Seems to have started after yum updated a whole bunch of stuff.

It's exactly the same fix?

Thank you very much for the solution.

I've ran into the same issue after updating a lot of stuff with the yum program.
The symptom was that users couldn't connect to IMAP service, but the server correctly receives/sends the e-mails.

This error started today on latest Debian9 too.
Centos7 is also affected, if i'm right?

I'm gonna fix this.

Fix for Debian - https://github.com/serghey-rodin/vesta/ ... bd1f53a210

Can someone check if the path is the same for Centos7 ?
