Changing the IMAP name space mid-stream confuses some/many IMAP clients. Mail on Apple thinghies will not recover without deleting the account on the device and creating it again. Don't ask how I know this. :( John Capo Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus

Our current settings are: /usr/local/etc/imapd.conf:unixhierarchysep: true /usr/local/etc/imapd.conf:altnamespace: true Before the purge this mailbox folder was displayed in my webmail application (Squirrelmail) as INBOX^Trash, which is why I choose that construction for the ipurge command. However, following the successful purge run of ipurge INBOX.Trash the mailbox now displays as INBOX.Trash. What is equally curious is that there exists a folder simply named Trash, which was used as the trash folder by the previous version of IMAP and which was replaced by INBOX^Trash by some part of the upgrade process. It is certain that these changes (Trash -> INBOX^Trash, Sent -> INBOX^Sent, Drafts -> INBOX^Drafts) were not consciously made and they affected all users. And, yes, I did follow the published upgrade procedures to the best of my understanding. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.

That was it exactly. My next question is: Why did the conversion to imap3 ignore users' existing Trash folder and create a new folder named INBOX^Trash for everyone; and likewise with Drafts and Sent? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
