I just installed Dovecot and squirrelmail to read my email when I'm away from home. I subscribed to all the folders in my mail directory but I can't actually see any email. Is this a dovecot issue or a squirrelmail issue? I'm running KMail from KDE 3.1.2 and use Debian (Testing) on a Digital Alpha and installed both squirrelmail and dovecot using apt-get. I had to set 'default_mail_env = maildir:~/Mail' To get it to see the parent folders but I'm stuck there. Any advice appreciated. /rob

You'll probably just have to setup squirrelmail not to use the INBOX-prefix: 1. Default Folder Prefix : 12. Default Sub. of INBOX : false

Has it got something to do with the fact that kmail puts the contents of subfolders into a hidden directory in ~/Mail ? In kmail I have folders like: Forums, Newsletters, etc... These have subfolders, but in the file system it looks like: /home/rob/Mail/.Forums.directory/DCLUG/ instead of the expected: /home/rob/Mail/Forums/DCLUG/ Thanks for your help! /rob
