Hi -
I had been running an Ubuntu 12.04 system on which I receive email, with
an inbox in /var/mail/ and a bunch of folders under ~/Maildir. When I
upgraded from 14.04 there were a bunch of questions about keeping
old/new config files and my muddling through it has me seeing only the
inbox, and then a Drafts, Sent and Trash Folder.
I would like to regain access to the messages stored under ~/Maildir,
but have been thoroughly unsuccessful. I seem to run into duplicate
prefix issues and I suspect I have other issues, when I try to add:
namespace rest {
separator = /
prefix =
location = maildir:~/Maildir
}
to what is already present. I've seen a few of the wiki pages, but not
fully understanding what is going-on I'm afraid I've not groked them
terribly well.
any help/pointers for this cluser would be much appreciated.
