Hey all,

It  seems  I always  get  the  good ones.  At  any  rate, I  have  setup
courier-imap and it has been working  great. I have also setup sqwebmail
on the same server and it works great. People can read their email using
an IMAP client in the office  and check their email using sqwebmail when
on  the  road.  There  is  a small  problem,  however,  in  the  webmail
interface.  If in  the  Netscape  client one  creates  a  folder with  a
trailing `.' then it will no longer  be possible to login to the webmail
interface.  For example,  I  had  a user  create  a  folder named  ``OEM
Info,  Oppts.'' which  caused sqwebmail  to fail  after login.  If using
Netscape, the browser  would return an error message to  the tone of ``A
communications error  occurred; Please try  again'' and the  login could
not proceed  to the folder window.  Internet Explorer just locked  up. I
assume this is  because subfolders are delimited by `.'  and webmail was
unable to parse  the subfolder after the `.' which  didn't exist. So, is
this a  bug or  a violation  of some protocol?  Does IMAP  dictate which
characters can or cannot  be used in a folder name and if  so, is this a
violation? (Now is a good time for me to read the IMAP RFC... :-)

Thanks,

Andy
