Ok sorry i get excited on these lists sometimes i guess, here is what i
was trying to say.
I want to change user "someuser" to IMAPdir so I change the Depot to
IMAPdir and leave the rest of the conf file unchanged. When i do this my
existing Maildir++ messages for "someuser" are gone which really
sucks. So i change back to Maildir++ and the messages are back thank
heaven. However now i have two trash folders one works and one does not
The reason that your INBOX is empty is that IMAPdir requires Maildir/INBOX
to be the path to your INBOX. Conversion from Maildir++ to IMAPdir is
usually done with creating a symlink. The next release will contain
scripts that do the same thing, but the archives also show you how to do
this automatically:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.binc.general/895/match=inbox+script
Binc IMAP created an empty INBOX mailbox inside Maildir when you logged in
without this symlink (because of the "auto create inbox" setting in your
conf file). You need to remove the mailbox that Binc created, and create
the symlink. Be careful to be at the right location in the filesystem when
doing this:
rm -rf INBOX
ln -s . INBOX
The '.' entry is the Maildir++ equivalent of INBOX.
i cannot get rid of the one that does not work. Also when i switch to
IMAPdir i stop receiving messages for "someuser" do i need to configure
my MTA (postfix) to send to a different type of Depot. Would really like
No, there is no need to reconfigure your MTA. :-)
NOW FOR THE LOG STUFF
logging in on netscape 7.1 all seems ok
(...)
logging out of netscape 7.1 errors i know i have sent this in serveral
times i am sorry for that but here it is agian. Just concerned i have a
phobia about errors however if know what they are I will be OK.
All these errors come from just pressing the little X on the top corner
of netscape after using it to read my mail and stuff. Oh ya and there
is two users in my netscape client one is testimap and the other is rmvg.
All these lines in the log are caused by Netscape dropping its IMAP
connections when you click the X. Binc is just being too verbose in its
logs :(. No error, nothing to worry about, and the next release will not
be that verbose.
