I do not really want to depend on the client, as I need to use different MUAs on different PCs at different locations. Hence, I am trying do get the central mailserver (qmail) to retain a copy of all outgoing mail. But as Jonas suggested: this is perhaps a qmail issue. >Were you thinking from a client writer's view or from a client _user's_ >view? >From a client user's view. >Andy >-- >Andreas Aardal Hanssen | http://www.andreas.hanssen.name/gpg >Author of Binc IMAP | Nil desperandum The following is, I belive, related to bincimap. When creating new folders from the MUA (KMail 3.1.0 or Mozilla 1.2.1) I am not allowed to create top-level folders, they all end up as sub-folders of Inbox. For example if I create the two sub-folders "DSP" and "XX", my "Maildir" directory looks like this: total 48 drwx------ 7 sigmund sigmund 4096 Mar 5 12:02 . drwx------ 3 sigmund sigmund 4096 Mar 5 10:36 .. -rw------- 1 sigmund sigmund 217 Mar 5 12:01 bincimap-cache-INBOX -rw------- 1 sigmund sigmund 48 Mar 5 12:01 bincimap-subscribed -rw------- 1 sigmund sigmund 63 Mar 5 12:01 bincimap-uidvalidity-INBOX -rw------- 1 sigmund sigmund 62 Mar 5 12:01 bincimap-uidvalidity-INBOX.DSP -rw------- 1 sigmund sigmund 62 Mar 5 12:02 bincimap-uidvalidity-INBOX.XX drwx------ 2 sigmund sigmund 4096 Mar 5 12:00 cur drwx------ 5 sigmund sigmund 4096 Mar 5 12:01 .DSP drwx------ 2 sigmund sigmund 4096 Mar 5 11:52 new drwx------ 2 sigmund sigmund 4096 Mar 5 11:51 tmp drwx------ 5 sigmund sigmund 4096 Mar 5 12:02 .XX Should there be two entires, i.e. booth ".DSP" and "bincimap-uidvalidity-INBOX.DSP"? Also, when I remove e.g. "DSP" in the MUA the directory ".DSP" is deleted, but not "bincimap-uidvalidity-INBOX.DSP". Why not? Sorry, if I am asking a daft question, but I am confused. Is there a good tutorial on this stuff somewhere on the web? By the way, has bincimap been tested with SquirrelMail? Regards Sigmund.
