Re: imap folders-entire home directory

[Benoit Chesneau]

This isn't a bug of imap client. You could read all file from you're 
home directory. On mac os x, the client display all folders but don't 
dl them until you click on it. To not display all home folder you can 
change c-client's idea of the user's mailbox directory to be the "mail" 
subdirectory of the user's home directory instead of the user's home 
directory.

change this line of env_unix.c in src/osdep/unix/

static char *mailsubdir = NIL;  /* mail subdirectory name */
in
static char *mailsubdir = "yourmaildir"; /* mail subdirectory name */
Read README for more informations.  ANd if you use darwinports (I think 
you use  mac os x?)  , I created a patch to imap-uw in bugzilla to add 
this feature (http://www.opendarwin.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1122) 
:)

This is a bug/misfeature of your IMAP client; it is not a problem in 
the
IMAP server.  Contact the vendor of your IMAP client for help.
