Hi all

I have a small question about the CREATE functionality of binc-imap.

I'm not an IMAP wizz but i wondered about the following:

Is it correct that it's not possible to create folders parallel to the
INBOX?

See the following

* OK Welcome to Binc IMAP v1.1.8 (c) Copyright 2002, 2003 Andreas Aardal
Hanssen at 2003-06-13T03:09:31+0200
000 LOGIN [EMAIL PROTECTED] apassword
000 OK LOGIN completed
001 LIST "" *
* LIST (\UnMarked \Noinferiors) "/" "INBOX"
001 OK LIST completed
002 CREATE foo
002 NO failed to create "foo"
003 CREATE INBOX/foo
003 OK CREATE completed
004 LIST "" *
* LIST (\UnMarked) "/" "INBOX"
* LIST (\UnMarked \Noinferiors) "/" "INBOX/foo"
004 OK LIST completed
005 SELECT INBOX
* 4 EXISTS
* OK [UNSEEN 3] Message 3 is first unseen
* OK [UIDVALIDITY 1055442044]
* OK [UIDNEXT 5] 5 is the next UID
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Recent \Seen \Draft)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft)] Limited
005 OK [READ-WRITE]

It seems that it is not possible to create a folder at this level...

Now, if I look in the RFC 2060, top of page 25 it seems that it should be
possible?

Example:
C: A003 CREATE owatagusiam/
S: A003 OK CREATE completed
C: A004 CREATE owatagusiam/blurdybloop
S: A004 OK CREATE completed

Also it seems to be impossible to do the example on page 28

C: Z432 LIST "" *
S: * LIST () "." INBOX
S: * LIST () "." INBOX.bar
S: Z432 OK LIST completed
C: Z433 RENAME INBOX old-mail
S: Z433 OK RENAME completed
C: Z434 LIST "" *
S: * LIST () "." INBOX
S: * LIST () "." INBOX.bar
S: * LIST () "." old-mail
S: Z434 OK LIST completed

a similar approach on binc-imap gives:

007 RENAME INBOX oldmail
007 NO unsupported

Another question:

Does the IMAP4rev1 deny the possibility of putting contents in a folder that
has subfolders?

I hope i'm not offending anyone with questions like this, I'm a newbie after
all.Maybe I'm just asking stupid questions :-)

By the way thanx for a very nice program, it seems to run nicely in my
Mandrake box.

Best regards
