Thanks,
Should the script be run as root?
Either root or the as the owner of the mail box.
And/or should it be run for each individual user?
Yes.
A guess this would not change _anything_ other than the naming of the
folder names from the clients point of veiew? I can not control much
other than folder name, server name etc. from the mail client (Oracle
Interconnect).
IMAP clients should not see _any_ changes as a result of the migration.
The primary benefit is that they now have less restrictions on the names
of new folders.

Hi,
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
You should not have to specify ~/Maildir/new: you should have the
following line in your muttrc:
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.
*/
}
