[Dovecot] still getting weird .{inbox} folder creations with latest -test7
Hi,
I am still getting strange creation and mailbox lookups from
0.99.11-test7.
dovecot creates in ~/Maildir/
.INBOX/
.imap.index
.imap.index.cache
.imap.index.log
.customflags
dovecot-uidlist
.INBOX seems to be a reference to ~/Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} yet I
cannot get an IMAP client uo pick up my other maildir, located at
~/Maildir/mi/{cur,new,tmp}.
In Apple's Mail.app, it picks up a file called ~/Maildir/.procmaillog
as if it were a maildir directory! This is with the Mail.app
preference for "IMAP Path Prefix" set to null.
mutt just seems plain confused. I have these settings:
# imap styleee
set folder=imap://yeled at lazy.spodder.com/
set mbox=imap://yeled at lazy.spodder.com/mbox
set record=imap://yeled at lazy.spodder.com/sent
set postponed=imap://yeled at lazy.spodder.com/postponed
set spoolfile=imap://yeled at lazy.spodder.com/
set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates
set mail_check=10
set timeout=10
set imap_home_namespace=""
set imap_pass="foo"
I have included the tcpflow files to show what the clients are doing..
Is it normal to search for folders starting with "." ? Why won't
it
just pick up my normally nested maildir folders?
C.

So you'd have ~/Maildir/.mi/{cur,new,tmp} - try creating a folder in an IMAP email client and you should notice this behaviour. -- Grahame Bowland Email: grahame at ucs.uwa.edu.au University Communications Services Phone: +61 8 9380 1175 The University of Western Australia Fax: +61 8 9380 1109 CRICOS: 00126G
