Are you asking how to change what imapd considers to be the "top" of the hierarchy, or how to avoid listing so-called "hidden" files? Hiding files that begin with a dot is no more than a name-based convention, and imapd has support for it. Have a look in src/osdep/unix/env_unix.c for the hideDotFiles definition. "Example 2" in CONFIG addresses the other possible meaning for your question, as you've already noticed.

That is correct. If the IMAP server did not list those files, it would be impossible for the IMAP client to show them to the user under any of those circumstances. UW imapd once suppressed listing of dot files. I was made to remove that feature, for the reason stated in the previous paragraph. I look at the prospect of revisiting that decision with about the same as I view a colonoscopy. -- Mark -- http://panda.com/mrc Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for lunch.

[Imap-uw] LIST / hidden files
Hello everybody, I have a question regarding the LIST command and about how it is handled by UW-IMAPD. The "default" installation of imapd returns the following result for an average user on ubuntu linux: 0004 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" .bash_logout / .bash_logout, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoSelect \HasChildren) "/" mail / mail, no select * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" mail/postponed-msgs / mail/postponed-msgs, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" mail/sent-mail / mail/sent-mail, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" mail/saved-messages / mail/saved-messages, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" .pinerc / .pinerc, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" .profile / .profile, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" .bashrc / .bashrc, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoSelect \HasNoChildren) "/" .ssh / .ssh, no select * LIST (\NoInferiors) NIL INBOX NIL INBOX, no inferiors 0004 OK LIST completed You can easily recognize the alpine part underneath mail/. But what's the best way to handle the mailboxes at hierarchy level 1? Here you see .pinerc, .profile, etc. The ls command of unix will not show those files or directories unless you use the -a option. On the other hand uw-imapd does show the hidden files. 1. Is this a configuration issue or is it a protocol issue? 2. Has that ever been discussed in the imap-wg weither ot show hidden hidden files or not?
