I hear what you're saying but now I've got thousands of empty INBOX folders on my server. If the software didn't do this then I wouldn't have them. This is probably academic when you only have a few domains but in a hosting environment this creates thousands of additional folders unnecessarily. Why bother creating another folder on the server when the users folder is already there?

this is about not creating another directory and just adding an mbx file. Why create another folder and not an mbx?

If you create mailboxes that are sub-mailboxes of the Inbox you will get a folder named inbox that has the sub-mailbox mbx files in it... I have many of these and they work fine.. I think this was about getting an inbox.mbx  not a inbox folder tho

In 2006, I just recreated the INBOX creation problem. I created a new folder called "temp". I moved email from the "INBOX" which is really "Main.mbx", but that's another story, to the "temp" folder. Upon going to the temp folder and moving the mail back I noticed it had created the INBOX folder and even listed it as "INBOX/temp".

Now that this isn't a rule creating the folder we have an instance where Imail is doing this, Travis.
