(Please note: the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list is for discussions
about the design and specification of the IMAP protocol, as opposed to
questions about specific software implementations. Since you appear to
be using UW imapd, the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list is the
mailing list dedicated to that server. Alternatively, the comp.mail.imap
newsgroup is a good place to post questions.)
I can not reproduce the problem that that you have reported. With
mailsubdir set to "mail" and no ~/mail directory existing, the IMAP
command
tag CREATE foo
to imapd creates the ~/mail directory and the ~/mail/foo file.
Please provide (either in email to me or the c-client mailing list) a more
detailed explanation of how you are "saving". There is no concept of
"save" in IMAP, so I assume that this is the name of an operation in your
IMAP client.
