It's an indexed mbox, used by wu-imapd. Exim has support for it, and several MUAs have support for it as well. I've never really used it though. >> .. and perhaps also: >> >> # Folders in which format? >> FOLDER_FORMAT=Maildir >> >> # Folders where ? >> FOLDER_PATH=~/Mail >> >> .. if you don't want to mess around with the FOLDER stuff (which >> is not just a MUA thing, but which some imapds can probably use > >This looks nice to me: INBOX_NAME, OUTBOX_NAME, DRAFT_NAME, SENT_NAME could >help resolve the naming confusion of the standard MUA's for their administrivia >folders. Perhaps MTA and MUA config should be seperate. It would surely be less confusing. The MTA has nothing to do with 'draft', 'sent' etc. That is a MUA issue. Maybe /etc/default/inbox for the MTA, and /etc/default/mailbox for the MUA ? >When speaking about Maildir's, it is common to use a trailing slash.

Probably, that is usually done to differentiate between mbox and maildir, but if you already have INBOX_FORMAT it doesn't really make a difference. I don't really care. Mike.
