I intend to switch the incoming mail inboxes on the system I am administering
to the alternative mix format. I compiled and installed imapd 2007a and it
works fine, but there is one feature that I was not able to use. Mailboxes in
the mix format (or any alternative format) are recognized, but the messages
from the Unix mail spool are not snarfed into these mailboxes. On the other
hand, pine 4.64 is able to snarf messages from the mail spool files into the
alternative inboxes it recognizes, as stated in the documentation. The name and
path for these inboxes were set according to the documentation (i.e., INBOX for
mix or mbox for mbox, placed in my home directory), but imap clients do not see
them as inboxes. On the contrary, pine run directly on the mail server detects
these mailboxes as inboxes and snarfs the messages from the mail spool.


How did you create the INBOX?  It should be with "mailutil", specifying
the desired format (e.g. #driver.mix/INBOX), instead of just "touch ~/INBOX"
