  I unfortunately have some other files in my Maildirs that Courier IMAP

of filtering or masking certain files.  Is there a way?

  I need to hide:

uid_validity
statcache
exim_quota


Right now, these are showing up as folders.
    

Really? Are you *sure* you're using courier-imap and not some other IMAP
server? I say this because:

(1) Courier-imap folders are Maildirs in their own right; they must be
    directories not files
(2) Only directories whose name begins with a period are treated as folders

So, please give a proper description of the problem.

Firstly, what exact version of courier-imap are you running? Under what OS?

Secondly, show a transcript of an IMAP session to your server, i.e.
   script imap.log
   telnet x.x.x.x 143
   a login username password

and a 'list' command which shows the files being interpreted as folders.

Thirdly, show an ls -lR of the Maildir in question.

I decided to test this out myself.  If I:

touch Maildir/.exim_quota

then exim_quota shows up in my list of unsubscribed folders.  Maybe Courier-IMAP should be patched to only show *directories* that are hidden in the folder listing...
