Can someone help me understand number 6 from http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/mixfmt.txt.html
I am converting from mbx to mix so I was looking at using mailutil copy to create the mix file. The following sentences seem to conflict with each other. "A multi-message copy or append is written into its entirety to a single new message file. In the case of multi-copy, the new message file is switched when the sum of the sizes of all messages to be copied would cause the current new message file to exceed MIXDATAROLL." If a multi-copy is written in entirety to a new file then what does the second sentence mean? What does "only the first message is considered" mean in the last sentence? Is there way of converting a large mbx file into a set of smaller mix files? Does even make sense to do this because all future messages with use the MIXDATAROLL value? 6. Message data file file roll out strategy The current new message file is finalized, and a new one started, when an append or copy is done that would cause the file to grow to larger than a preconfigured size (MIXDATAROLL). A multi-message copy or append is written into its entirety to a single new message file. In the case of multi-copy, the new message file is switched when the sum of the sizes of all messages to be copied would cause the current new message file to exceed MIXDATAROLL. In the case of multi-append, only the first message is considered; this is due to technical limitations. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Crispin Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 12:22 AM To: David Morsberger Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Imap-uw] IMAP Failure On Tue, 26 Feb 2008, David Morsberger wrote: > I am in the process of testing imap-2007.

I am looking at the "set mail-subdirectory > ~/Library/Mail/IMAP" command in the /etc/c-client.cf file. "set mail-subdirectory Library/Mail/IMAP" (no "~/" prefix). Better will be to edit imap-2007/src/osdep/unix to change the definition of the mailsubdir variable. I recommend against using /etc/c-client.cf -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
