Good, the more the better. This doc clarifies the execution of bincimap-up and bincimapd, which is something we may want to extract into a seperate doc, but for now it should remain where it is. :-) >There is still one question open, and that is how to configure BincIMAP >so that it exposes the incoming folder as "Inbox" or "INBOX", and also >allows new mail folders to be created on the same level as Inbox. Can >anything, apart from a symbolic link, save the day? ;-) If I understand correctly: Binc IMAP displays it as INBOX, but you want it to say "Inbox"? Hmm, allowing that almost certainly sounds like adding a new configuration option, which is something I only see as a final resort. "Eliminate options". :-) People who are used to INBOX won't mind it being displayed as Inbox, I'm quite certain. And since the special name Inbox is case insensitive, it would still be perfectly allowed to select INBOX, or to LIST or LSUB to INBOX. However, it is usually the client's job to translate the INBOX name into something that looks more convenient to the user, such as "Innboks" or "Boite de reception". I wouldn't be surprised if some clients display the folder as INBOX, even if the server did display it as "Inbox". If you'd like, I could send you a little patch which shows INBOX as Inbox for you to test (operator-list.cc changes only), or you could do some modification yourself and see if it works. Up to you. :-) Andy -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen | http://www.andreas.hanssen.name/gpg Author of Binc IMAP | "It is better not to do something http://www.bincimap.org/ | than to do it poorly."
