Okay - if you set up a clean new account with Thunderbird, then this works fine. With Courier-IMAP, you either need to create the mailboxes under INBOX, or you can use the namespace INBOX and create root level folders. With Binc, you can create mailboxes under INBOX. Thunderbird will then not create INBOX.Trash but INBOX/Trash. If your Thunderbird created INBOX.Trash from a clean setup, then there's a bug in Thunderbird. If you right-click INBOX and create a subfolder "foo", does then Thunderbird try to create "INBOX.foo" with your setup? >> How did you create the mailboxes manually, and did you subscribe to the >> mailbox after creating it?

When you say create, do >you mean actually at the shell doing mkdir or via the client? Via the client. Binc IMAP is all about IMAP, not about shell activity. You can create anything if you set depot="IMAPdir" in your bincimap.conf file. With depot="Maildir++", there is a restriction that you have to create mailboxes under INBOX. This is why we have IMAPdir - to allow folders at any level. :-) >Here's my situation, completely new pop virtual user. They connect via >binc with Thunderbird.

This works fine if you use IMAPdir, but if you use Maildir++, you need to tell Thunderbird to use INBOX/Sent. Edit -> Mail&Newsgroups Account Settings -> Copies & Folders -> Check "Place a copy in:" and click "Other", select your IMAP account and go to INBOX -> Sent -> Choose this folder. >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. openssl s_client -connect mail.methanesea.com:993 -crlf connect: Connection refused connect:errno=29 telnet: mail.methanesea.com:143: Name or service not known mail.methanesea.com:143: Unknown host 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."
