Re: set new-folder-format same-as-inbox broken?
Could it be that set new-folder-format same-as-inbox documented in http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/imaprc.txt.html does not work in imap-2004c1? I have done a bunch of tests with this and it seems to have no effect when the INBOX is in mbx format. It works for me. I just tried it. Note that an mbx-format INBOX must exist in order for this to work. Sorry about the false alarm. For some reason I can't reproduce the problem anymore either (still using Mozilla as client). The only difference I can point to between now and then is an update from Mozilla 1.7.6 to 1.7.7, but this seems like an impossible explanation. I'll assume that I made a mistake (several times) during my testing. Maybe the imap connection was persisting during the various versions of c-client.cf and the file is only read once when imapd starts (invoked by inetd). Still, I am puzzled because I restarted Mozilla several times intending to rule out this possible effect. Mailutil create is not affected by set new-folder-format same-as-inbox, but I think this is by design. Mark

(New folders are still in the system (Linux) default of traditional Unix) On the other hande set new-folder-format mbx works as expected. Here is my /etc/c-client.cf: I accept the risk # uncomment this if you want plaintext logins w/o ssl (a bad idea) set disable-plaintext nil # uncomment this if you want $HOME/.imaprc to work for individual users # set allow-user-config T # don't allow people to use .. and ~ in mailbox expressions (cleaner) # set restrict-mailbox-access all set new-folder-format mbx regards, Mark -- -- For information about this mailing list, and its archives, see: http://www.washington.edu/imap/c-client-list.html --
