This is not true (at least for the current rc, but it would surprise me if this was different in a previous version). > conducive# ls /data/mail/conducive.org/wbh/Maildir reformatted to match the layout in your MUA: > .INBOX > .INBOX.Suspect > .Sent > .Trash > .Suspect I don't see any folder having a subfolder. Even if there were, they are obviously not shown in your MUA. You just proved yourself wrong. Or did you mean IMAP subfolders? That's what the separator is used for (mentioned in the quoted part you *snip*ped away). It's pretty obvious that IMAP subfolders are not represented by file system subfolders. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
