(resend: client problems)

well, my Windows install of mahogany stopped me dead.

09:34:32: Mail log: Certificate failure for harvee.org: Self-signed certificate
or untrusted authority: C=us, S=ma, L=westford, O=hotdog vault, OU=acquisitions,
CN=harvee.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
09:34:32: Mail log: Unable to negotiate TLS with this server: harvee.org
09:34:32: Cannot open connection to the server 'harvee.org'.
09:34:34: Mail log: Can't create mailbox node d:\Documents and Settings\esj\My
Documents\\: File exists
09:34:34: Mail log: Can't open mailbox d:\Documents and Settings\esj\My
Documents\\New Mail: no such mailbox
09:34:34: Could not open mailbox 'New Mail'.


the SSL problems are mine. I'm playing around with certificates and it's mostly working right. But what I'm mostly bothered by is the creation of mail boxes right in the "my documents" directory. They should be either in a subdirectory or in a different part of the file hierarchy altogether.

Now personally, I use absolutely no local mail boxes and I'm hoping that the
"new mail" mailbox is strictly an artifact of the pop3 interface.  My line of
reasoning is if I am using a server to hold my mailboxes I want it to hold *all*
of my mailboxes.  That's inbox, new mail, drafts, etc. etc. etc..  I have 2 GB
of e-mail in imap mailboxes and that's where I want it to stay.

which leads me to the next question which is why do you ask users what format
mailbox you want them to use?  This is something that should be relatively
invisible to the user.  I also noticed that you use the most special,
undocumented, hard to repair, mbx format mailbox for local mailboxes.  I would
suggest that until MC and sees his way clear to documenting the format, you
should avoid using it.  I know that maildir has its limitations but at least you
can find a document and write an independent compatible library to access it and
have a reasonable chance of working correctly.

then on closing out mahogany I got a similar set of errors

09:38:11: Mail log: Can't create mailbox node d:\Documents and Settings\esj\My
Documents\\: File exists
09:38:11: Mail log: Can't open mailbox d:\Documents and Settings\esj\My
Documents\\Trash: no such mailbox
09:38:11: Could not open mailbox 'Trash'.

I didn't even try to access my imap server for fear of what it would due to my
inbox.  I was afraid it might try to copy everything out of the inbox and put it
into some form of new mail folder on my local machine.
