This is easily tweaked by using "INBOX." (note the trailing dot) as the "IMAP server directory" on the client end.

SIEVE is pretty nice, and there's a useful plugin to Squirrelmail to configure it. Configuring it via commandline isn't for the feint of heart though. I will say it's much easier to configure than the cryptic procmailrc. I'd suggest going with sieve, but I'm one of the .forwarders: I don't use trilug IMAP. -- Joseph Tate Personal e-mail: jtate AT dragonstrider DOT com Web: http://www.dragonstrider.com -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
