I do: maildirmake -s write -f spam /home/mpierce/Maildir maildirmake -s write -f MailingList /home/mpierce/Maildir maildirmake -s write -f root-mail /home/mpierce/Maildir Folders are created.
I then do: cd /home/mpierce/Maildir/.spam && chmod 700 * cd /home/mpierce/Maildir/.MailingList && chmod 700 * cd /home/mpierce/Maildir/.root-mail && chmod 700 * All file permissions are created (root-mail shown below):
The chmods are not necessary.
drwxr-xr-t 5 mpierce mpierce 152 Sep 10 22:03 . drwx------ 9 mpierce mpierce 264 Sep 10 22:03 .. drwx------ 2 mpierce mpierce 48 Sep 10 22:03 cur -rwx------ 1 mpierce mpierce 0 Sep 10 22:03 maildirfolder drwx------ 2 mpierce mpierce 48 Sep 10 22:03 new drwx------ 2 mpierce mpierce 48 Sep 10 22:03 tmp
I then launch mail client (Evolution). All I see is INBOX and underneath my inbox is Trash which exists as /home/mpierce/Maildir/.Trash
Why don't the other folders show?
I need them to show so I can go onto next step of implementing procmail.
Perform the following simple test:
# telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
