So, if I leave this imapd.conf setting blank, does that mean all folders that I have access to via IMAP should appear as NNTP news groups (authenticated login)?
newsprefix: <none> Prefix to be prepended to newsgroup names to make the corresponding IMAP mailbox names.
Just fiddling around it seems as if I see everything except those folders under "user.". Is that correct? I noticed some old posts that indicated any folder should be viewable, but so far in my test environment I'm not seeing that.... Mainly just curious.....
I specifically do not serve user.* via NNTP, mainly because I figured somebody might screw something up. But since I now have relatively good access controls, I can probably remove this restriction.
I also thought it might be disconcerting for users to see their personal folders (e.g. user.ken.*) as "newsgroups".
It's funny. Ages ago I remember a friend going on about how cool it was to read mail via nn. Personally I couldn't get my head around it, but now I'm playing with NNTP access to an IMAP server. Funny how things go around like that, given enough time..... (Of course I'm posting this via Gnus, another news reader! ;-)
How are things running? Any issues with NNTP clients or servers?
