Hi!

I'm new to bincimap and this mailing list, please excuse me if this is a dumb question. I read all man pages and articles on the web page several times, but I am still bit confused regarding our set-up, and how it can be integrated with bincimap.

I am using vpopmail, but only have one domain. The mailboxes are stored like this:

/home/vpopmail/domains/domainname.org/felix/Maildir
/home/vpopmail/domains/domainname.org/frank/Maildir

and so on.

vchkpw will authenticate correctly (this works with bincimap, I've tested it), and (assuming I'm authenticating as felix) then chdir() to /home/vpopmail/domain/domainname.org/felix.

Here is the problem: bincimap will then try to read the cur and new directory, which is not there, but in Maildir/cur or Maildir/new. I thought that I understood the documentation correctly, and have configured bincimap as follows:

Mailbox {
    depot = "Maildir++",
    type = "Maildir",
    path = "./Maildir",
    auto create inbox = "yes",
    auto subscribe mailboxes = "INBOX",
    umask = "077"
}

thinking that the parameter "path" would tell bincimap to chdir() into ./Maildir for the incoming mail, and creating its submailboxes in ./ (i.e. in /home/cpopmail/domain/domainname.org/felix) [or will the folders be created directly within Maildir/?]. One way or the other, this doesn't work at all. What am I possibly doing wrong? Or am I completely misunderstanding something?

I would be very grateful if you could point me in the right direction, and would volunteer to write something up for the FAQ that would make it easier for people like me to understand how the pieces fit together :-)

Regards,

- Felix
