OK, but my problem has been 2-fold. When I got the folder-structure
right (as in the above example) there is a problem with offlineimap and
the way it handles messages in the /new folders, i.e. I can't see new
mails unless I copy them to the /cur folder. At the moment I am not
feeling adventurous enough to start running scripts to solve this issue,
or to try and patch offlineimap.
So I returned to my original folder structure, which is not . separated
but slash separated as in:
~/Maildir/INBOX/cur
~/Maildir/INBOX/new
~/Maildir/INBOX/tmp
~/Maildir/INBOX/Sent/cur
~/Maildir/INBOX/Sent/new
~/Maildir/INBOX/Sent/tmp
Which bincimap can't handle. I have been told, by someone who is much
more knowledgeable than me, that the above folder structure is supported
by the original UW-IMAP server, but no other server.
I'll try and update the wiki-page to make it as clear as possible what
it is I mean.
thanks for the help
