You can place the following line in /etc/c-client.cf

Set hide-dot-files 1

If your mail is all in ~/mail directory for all users, you can also set the
mail subdirectory in c-client.cf as well using:

Set mail-subdirectory mail

This is, in my opinion, a real weakness of UW-IMAP. The "Maildir" folder, as
used by Dovecot for example, avoids that issue altogether.

Subject: [Imap-uw] Forcing uw-imap to ignore directories in ~/mail?

Hi all,

Recently I've decided to version my home directory in svn. As a result,
I now have a ~/mail/.svn directory. This has appeared as a folder in my
mail client, and shows "new messages" whenever I do any Subversion
commits.

Is there a way to instruct uw-imap to ignore certain directories instead
of treating them as mail folders? I can take the opposite approach if
necessary (by telling Subversion to ignore ~/mail, as it's backed up
elsewhere). Curious if anyone's run into this situation before.

Thanks,

Shaun
