Hi Andy,
I can't see which howto you followed to get the user areas here ..
Sorry that I didn't explain my setting clear enough..
I am using bincimap with qmail-ldap and I have created an account called vmail to hold all my users' maildir
under /var/qmail/maildirs/
Below is my bincimap.conf:
Mailbox {
depot = "IMAPdir",type = "Maildir",
path = "IMAPdir",
auto create inbox = "no",
auto subscribe mailboxes = "INBOX",
umask = "077" }
I created a user called user1 with 2 folders (IMAPDir and Maildir) in his directory /var/qmail/maildirs/user1/
and do a link:
ln -s var/qmail/maildirs/user1/Maildir var/qmail/maildirs/user1/IMAPDir/INBOX
Correct me if I am wrong, bincimap will access all the mails in /var/qmail/maildirs/user1/IMAPdir/INBOX and any folder
created will be in /var/qmail/maildirs/user1/IMAPDir
the INBOX and any folder created will consists of new, cur and tmp...
but why is new, cur and tmp created in /var/qmail/maildirs/user1/IMAPdir/ whenever bincimap access the INBOX?
ls -l /var/qmail/maildirs/user1/IMAPDir
drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 Dec 13 16:01 cur
drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Dec 19 16:17 Drafts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 vmail vmail 34 Dec 13 16:01 INBOX -> /var/qmail/maildirs/user1/Maildir
drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 Dec 13 16:01 new
drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Dec 19 16:19 Sent Items
drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 Dec 13 16:01 tmp
Thanks & Regards James
