So my argument here, not to promote other imap servers, but this isn't an issue under courier. I never had to create anything or worry about any of this so this is why I'm so confused. > >I've tried creating it manually wth a new account: > >$HOME/users/<virtualpop>/.Sent or $HOME/users/<virtualpop>/Sent > >and nothing works.

I tried both $HOME/users/<virtualpop>/.Sent and $HOME/users/<virtualpop>/Sent, like I state above but neither show up in the subscribe list. > >> Is it your client that gives this response, and in such case, which client > >> is it? > >Thunderbird at the moment, but Squirrel Mail was doing the same. > > Are you creating mailboxes under INBOX or not? It only works under INBOX. > Being a user of both Thunderbird and Squirrelmail I believe that this > works. I should have to create anything is my point. When you say create, do you mean actually at the shell doing mkdir or via the client? Here's my situation, completely new pop virtual user. They connect via binc with Thunderbird. The second they try and send a message, thunderbird comes back and says they can't send the message because their Sent folder has not been created. The Sent folder should be created automatically just like how it works with courier-imap. If you want a test account, try this: email [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail server mail.methanesea.com username is xxedgexx-test password is test I will only be able to let binc on for the next 20 minutes maybe so hopefully you're online. -jeremy > >> You may need to start off with a clean account, since some clients don't > >> like the transition from one hierarchy delimiter to another. > >Tried this and binc doesn't seem to create the directory structure it > >needs on its own. > > Binc creates anything your client wishes to create, as long as the client > is set up correctly.
