Hello list, For a couple of days now, I've been trying to have the following MUAs create subfolders on a Courier IMAP (4.0.6) server, using Maildir storage (of course) and IMAP as a protocol:
* KMail 1.9.6, * Thunderbird 1.5 (Windows), * Outlook 2003 So far, the only successful attempt was with KMail, but I had to use the quite ugly syntax INBOX.firstleveldir.secondleveldir. No way with OutLook or Thunderbird. >From what I could google off the web, I've learned that: * the original Maildir specification does _not_ allow for nested subfolders, * Maildir++, however, does, and has been developped specifically for and by the Courier IMAP team, * Courier IMAP claims to implement IMAP as well as it can be, given the state of specifications. On our internal system, which uses wu-imapd (I know) and mbox storage, I have no trouble at all creating subfolders, even if a folder cannot contain messages. I can even migrate the whole mbox tree to a Maildir tree and it's viewed correctly by all MUAs cited above. But creation is a no no, except with the KMail hack. For this reason, I cannot envision a move to Courier IMAP for our internal system and am considering Dovecot and... mbox storage, since Dovecot suffers the exact same problems when using Maildir (except that I cannot even create subfolders with KMail this time). What's more, I don't see any relevant configuration directive in the IMAP server configuration file that could help --- at least, not a directive that is documented. Do you have any enlightenment on whether this can work at all? Is it written somewhere in the documentation and I have overlooked it (which I certainly do not reject as a possibility)? I'm at a complete loss here. Thanks in advance for your replies, and have fun, -- Francis Galiegue, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12bis rue de la Pierre Levée, 75011 PARIS +33143381980, +33683877875 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
