Nr 2 - I do not follow. Why do we need to change the folder seperator? :/ ></SIDE NOTE> A good side note. I actually agree. The subscribed file has a very simple structure and should therefore be completely flat. >Note that I had to exit Netscape each time in order for it to really >unsubscribe for the folders that I "Unsubscribed"; if I went to subscribe >again before exiting, Netscape displayed all the folders that were >unsubscribed as subscribed which would hold true for the next invocation >of Netscape. Yes - I discovered this bug also recently. The LSUB, SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE commands are today not stateless, while they should absolutely be. So LSUB should always load the subscription file, and SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE should always load, modify, then save. >Overall, there are operational differences between Courier and bincIMAP, >and possibly between a Maildir++ and an IMAPdir depot.

Thanks for this feedback - I'll dig into it and see what I can come up with. :-) Andy -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen | http://www.andreas.hanssen.name/gpg Author of Binc IMAP | "It is better not to do something http://www.bincimap.org/ | than to do it poorly."
