To bring those people up to speed: I'm evaluating ISMail (www.insidesystems.net) as a replacement for IMP. I'm having problems configuring the IMAP settings to work with Dovecot. == I've got some progress. I set rootmailfolder to "~/mail". When I login to ISMail, it creates the directory ~/inbox as follows: mail Sent Items then dies. If I set rootmailfolder to as "rootmailfolder=" with no argument, it creates .imap INBOX .customflags .imap.index.data .imap.index.tree .imap.index .imap.index.log then dies If I set rootmail folder to "INBOX" INBOX Sent Items .subscriptions .imap INBOX .customflags .imap.index.data .imap.index.tree .imap.index .imap.index.log -- Steve
