Then the question becomes, "how can your want be satisfied?". My answer to that is that you rename your folder to some name which is automatically accessible via IMAP, rather than including more code in bincimap. Or, you have no requirement that the maildir ".foo" be visible to IMAP as "foo" (you haven't converted from courier imap), you can set the folder prefix in your bincimap installation to "./Maildir/" rather than to "./Maildir/.". This also requires no extra code in bincimapd. You may recall from earlier discussions that the perfix string would be a command line argument passed to bincimapd when it is executed as part of the "accept connection/encrypt/authenticate/do IMAP" chain of command. It would be literally prepended to a derived string as part of the mapping from IMAP folder name to file system location. -- Charlie
