Just a quick reply from me here, as I'm quite busy today (can't answer too many emails): Binc could display all folders that are physical subfolders of Maildir as root folders, with a single special case on INBOX that can have no subfolders. So the physical: Maildir/ Maildir/.go/ Maildir/.there/ Maildir/.go/.here/ Would be displayed in LIST as: INBOX/ go/ there/ go.there/ Technically, this would actually tidy up Binc's code a bit. This would not be very backwards compatible, though. I'm not quite sure what would happen to existing users of Binc when Binc suddenly reports this new structure. With regards to what delimiter is used for the server - that's a great thing to make configurable. Default is the dot '.', but I can just as well throw this in as a configurable option. I can look at the other things you mentioned later on. :-) Andy -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen | http://www.andreas.hanssen.name/gpg Author of Binc IMAP | Nil desperandum
