Hi
.. let's start from right note here .. by sayin' i'm using qmail w/ Maildir
and imapd (doesn't really matter which one but if someone wants to know i'm
using the one the came with pine package (uw-imapd)) .. and i'm using very
popular client known as Outlook Express and/or Outlook and i'm sure many
more will have same problem/thing..
since there is no Inbox from client point of view (it points to god knows
where probably standard unix box /var/mail/$user or somethin), I have to
browse for an additiona folder which would be in $HOME/Maildir.. and it also
addes this folder in the list of others.. unfortinatly I can't just change
name of that folder Maildir to Inbox due to conflict with existing on e-mail
client end (and none existing on server side) folder/file.
what i need is: I want everyone's standard e-mail client to take Maildir as
a Inbox
my question is: how do i do that?
solution: .. maybe i can somehow trick my system in that Maildir is not
really a dir and it's just a file? this way I can put a symbol link into
/var/mail/$user to that file that's somehow is directory (Maildir) ?
or maybe there are other solutions for that?
it's really uncomfortable for me to do it and for for others users to
explain to add Maildir in their clients and there are some other
complications to that (which I dont really want to bore you with)
please e-mail me any possible solutions here
thanks in advance
Bye
