I am finding it hard to find documentation ... I have been through as much qmail and sqwebmail documentation as I can find, but am still comming up short on this question. I initially installed qmail. Works fine. I use mutt as a MUA, and it works fine over the Maildir format as well. qmail has a "maildirmake" program which simply creates the supplied folder, eg: cd $HOME/Maildir /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake MyTest This gives me: rolf@bits:~/Maildir > ls -l total 32 drwx------ 5 rolf users 4096 Nov 6 16:47 MyTest -rw------- 1 rolf users 44 Nov 5 22:47 sqwebmail-config -rw------- 1 rolf users 12288 Nov 5 21:27 sqwebmail-curcache.gdbm -rw------- 1 rolf users 78 Nov 5 22:34 sqwebmail-ip -rw------- 1 rolf users 15 Nov 5 21:27 sqwebmail-pass -rw------- 1 rolf users 0 Nov 5 21:28 sqwebmail-sig -rw------- 1 rolf users 1 Nov 5 22:48 sqwebmail-timestamp rolf@bits:~/Maildir > On the otherhand, creating a folder in sqwebmail would have created MyTest as (note the period before MyTest i.e.".MyTest"): rolf@bits:~/Maildir > ls -la total 76 drwxr-xr-x 12 rolf users 4096 Nov 6 16:47 . drwx------ 54 rolf users 4096 Nov 6 16:45 .. drwx------ 5 rolf users 4096 Nov 5 21:27 .Archive drwx------ 5 rolf users 4096 Nov 5 22:46 .Default drwx------ 5 rolf users 4096 Nov 5 21:12 .Drafts drwx------ 5 rolf users 4096 Nov 5 21:44 .Inbox drwx------ 5 rolf users 4096 Nov 5 21:41 .Jack drwx------ 5 rolf users 4096 Nov 5 21:00 .Sent drwx------ 5 rolf users 4096 Nov 5 23:37 .SqWebmail drwx------ 5 rolf users 4096 Nov 5 21:40 .System drwx------ 5 rolf users 4096 Nov 5 22:46 .Trash drwx------ 5 rolf users 4096 Nov 6 16:47 MyTest -rw------- 1 rolf users 44 Nov 5 22:47 sqwebmail-config -rw------- 1 rolf users 12288 Nov 5 21:27 sqwebmail-curcache.gdbm -rw------- 1 rolf users 78 Nov 5 22:34 sqwebmail-ip -rw------- 1 rolf users 15 Nov 5 21:27 sqwebmail-pass -rw------- 1 rolf users 0 Nov 5 21:28 sqwebmail-sig -rw------- 1 rolf users 1 Nov 5 22:48 sqwebmail-timestamp rolf@bits:~/Maildir > The spin-off of this is that Mutt does not understand "hidden" folders, i.e., .MyTest, and thus I am unable to view the contents of this in Mutt. Thus, my question: Which one is standard? For the moment I have to live on symbolic links.... Rolf P.S. I have another problem, but that i in another mail ...
