Hi,You should not have to specify ~/Maildir/new: you should have the following line in your muttrc:
Bincimap (and qmail) are working fine. I can read the INBOX (~/Maildir or actually ~/Maildir/new) with mutt and I have a integration tool that
set mbox_type = Maildir
Then you can just specify ~/Maildir.
reads INBOX automatically. Due to a bug in the integration tool it requires a exception-folder to save mail in that can not be processed.
How can I create a new folder from linux prompt (or set up a tool to do it - i tried with mutt but didn't get it to work) and what will the name be for the folder (INBOX.Exception or just Exception) ?
Given your configuration, try:
maildirmake ~/Maildir/.Exception
which will show up as INBOX/Exception to an IMAP client.Your alternative is to switch to an IMAPdir depot, in which case you could use:
maildirmake ~/IMAPdir/Exception
which will show up as Exception to an IMAP client and is much easier to use from mutt (in non-IMAP mode). The overview to migrate to an IMAPdir depot is as follows:
1. Stop bincimapd and qmail
2. run the script found in http://www.bincimap.andreas.hanssen.name/archive/?0::1124
3. Change the following in bincimap.config
depot = "IMAPdir",
type = "IMAPdir",
path = "IMAPdir",
4. Restart bincimap
5. Change the delivery instructions for qmail (from Maildir to IMAPdir/INBOX)
6. Restart qmail
I hope this helps.
Henry :-)
Extra info: From bincimap.conf: Mailbox { depot = "Maildir++", /* Use Maildir++ style * depot. */
type = "Maildir", /* only Maildir * support */
path = "Maildir", /* default path */
auto create inbox = "yes", /* create INBOX in * given format if * it doesn't * exist. */
auto subscribe mailboxes = "INBOX", /* list mailboxes * in one string, * seperated by * commas */
umask = "077" /* use this umask * when creating * mailboxes, or * when copying and * appending * messages. */ }
