With a Maildir++ depository, Maildir/ is the "root level" of the depository as well as being the INBOX itself. That's why "." is INBOX. Binc should hide ".", but it didn't before the 1.2.6 release because of a bug. With an IMAPdir depository, Maildir/ is _only_ the root level of the depository. Some sysadmins choose not to call this "Maildir" at all, but rather "IMAPdir" or simply "Mail". With IMAPdir, the INBOX must explicitly exist as a mailbox inside the depository. If your users earlier used ~/Maildir to store their mail, which is common when using qmail, there's an easy migration trick to have INBOX inside Maildir/ be a symlink to the Maildir itself. >So would you suggest I create the INBOX in >user/Maildir/INBOX >and tell qmail to deliver newmail to INBOX? Yes, this is the method that matches the IMAPdir depot the most. Which depot type are you using?
