HELLO??? Andreas? Anyone else? It's been a good while since I sent this mail so I thought I'd try again. Does anybody here have any ideas about what Maildir++ and IMAPdir are? I'd like to make an informed decision about which to use, but I really have no concept of what they are supposed to be. I'm sure this information would benefit others on the list as well.
