As far as I know, Courier-IMAP doesn't know anything special about the word "INBOX" -- the entity that most individuals would think of as an inbox is simply the base of the Maildir structure. So this is being caused by either Postfix, the client or the user. (FreeBSD is similarly ignorant of any special meaning to a directory called "INBOX"). > NB. Server: FreeBSD 6.2, Postfix 2.5.4, Courier-Imap 4.4.1 > (so it seems). Mail Client is Mac OSX Mail 3.4 Malc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
