With Maildir++, you must create all mailboxes under INBOX. It's implementation dependent (and in this case, depot dependent) whether certain mailboxes are allowed or not. If you switch depot to IMAPdir in your bincimap.conf file, you will be allowed to create mailboxes at all levels. >It seems that it is not possible to create a folder at this level... The error message should state why it is not allowed. I will add a more verbose error message. :-) >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 The example shows one example server's response, but the IMAP server is free to deny certain mailbox names or hierarchy limitations. >Also it seems to be impossible to do the example on page 28 >a similar approach on binc-imap gives: >007 RENAME INBOX oldmail >007 NO unsupported Yes, this is not available due to a design issue.

No, there can be both email and mailboxes inside all mailboxes. >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 >Hans-Christian Jehg Thanks for the feedback!
