Hi all,
My MUA is netscape messanger 4.73 for windows and i am not about to change this so
spare me any
rants about getting another MUA.
I am currently using wu-imapd v4.7 with maildir patch, but i am not quite satisfied
with (the
maildir driver has a few missing features that are really anoying).
So i am trying to get courier imapd 1.1 up and running, and it runs just fine, but...
It refused to create root-level subfolders and i can only create subfolders under the
INBOX.
i have tried to reconfigure/reinstall 10 times now with and without the
--enable-workaround..
i have even tried to modify the source code to use PRIVA as the personal namespace
instead of INBOX
(yeah i changed it everywhere and make check worked fine)
but it is a no-go...
maybe it would work if i completely rewrote the namespace structure of courier-imapd
and changed the
subfolder delimiter from "." to "/" like mh use since mh seems to work fine except
being super-slow
and outdated in alot of ways
is there anyone who is succesfully running courier with support for netscape out there?
going through the sourcecode it seems that courier actually insists that root-level
folders should
reside under ./Maildir/ eg. the trashfolder is file-system wise created as
./Maildir/Trash/
can anyone answer me this: why? isn't this just begging for MUA problems?
*ARGH the pain!*
if anyone knows of ANY imap server that supports Maildir format and Netscape messanger
at the same
time PLEASE tell me, because i am running out of ideas besides coding my own imap
server and i
really don't feel like doing that unless i absolutely have to (i hate coding C -go
figure :)
if only perl was faster then i would make one today, but alas perl is no good for
production-level
daemons.
Regards
Martin Jespersen
