I have read and read the dovecot docs on maildir folders and think that this is what I want. However, the MUA programs that I use, SylpheedClaws, Evolution, Mozilla seem to react differently to how I setup the folders. Is there a good FAQ on this subject somewhere? I think that I want to setup a virtual domain and am looking for documents. Alex

The problem I experience is that label flags are not replaced, but added - and cannot be removed. Other than that, Mozilla seems to work just fine. I've got 50+ users using Mozilla or Thunderbird, with another 100+ on the way from being converted from POP3/Eudora. -Rick -- Rick Johnson, RHCE #807302311706007 - rjohnson at medata.com Linux/Network Administrator - Medata, Inc.

Then it shouldn't make any difference what clients you use and where exactly the mails are stored in server side, as long as you've set Dovecot's default_mail_env correctly and clients doesn't try to set any "imap prefix". -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
