Mark,
I think I demonstrated in my message, that I knew
that. You must have missed the point.

Mailbox files

1. Create a
new user, [EMAIL PROTECTED],
using IMail Administrator. Note that it creates the users directory, but
does not create any mailboxes (Main.mbx, Draft.mbx, Sent.mbx, or
Deleted.mbx).
Fix: Administrator should have created all 4
mailboxes....
The mailboxes will be created
automagically the first time email is sent to the mail address. Main.mbx
and main.uid The Sent.mbx will be created and used if the person is
using the web interface and has keep sent item activated.
2. Using
web mail, log into the mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You
will note that only 3 mailboxes are listed, (Main, Deleted, and Sent).
However, Draft is a default mailbox. Draft is where a partially composed
message is saved until I finsh composing it and send it to the recipient. At
this time if you examine the users directory, no mailbox files exist in the
directory. So either Draft IS a default and should be listed, or it IS NOT a
default (so don't ever compromise me by automatically saving a file there
when I click save).
Main.mbx is the default and
will be created the first time you send an email to that address as well as
main.uid.
Most of the questions you have posed all revolve around mailbox
creation. These mailboxes get created the first time they are
used. eg. If you have save sent messages checked, the first time
someone sends a message, that sent.mbx will be created automagically and the
mail saved in it. Same for
drafts.
