A long time ago, a bug was filed against my IMAP package because it looked for mail folders in the users $HOME directory. This had the unfortunate side effect in most IMAP clients of causing any other files which were in the home directory to show up as folders. It was suggested that I make the mail folder root be $HOME/mail which I duly did with little complaint.
However lately there have been two bug reports (#33780, #34056) which suggest that this may not have been a good move. I could hack the c-client library IMAP uses for mailbox access to solve the particular problems mentioned in the bug reports but other problems may crop up and other packages that require c-client (pine, libmail-cclient-perl) may need to be recompiled. Or I can make the decision to stick with $HOME or stick with $HOME/mail even if it causes issues for some people. What should I do? -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
