RE: [vchkpw] IMAP dot folders
I don't know that is why I asked? If Squirrel Mail does use IMAP to create them does that mean that other webmail/IMAP systems would also create them since IMAP is doing the creating?

RE: [vchkpw] IMAP dot folders
There's the answer to my question! So IMAP is only doing the creating because of the scheme passed down from the IMAP client. And since I don't use Squirrel or SQWebmail it isn't creating the dot files everyone speaks of. Thank you!
