I just upgraded my RH9 installation to Fedora 2. To my surprise, imapd seems to be gone from the core. I noticed there are now two IMAP servers docevot and cyrus. After reading brief descriptions of both, dovecot would seem to be more compatible with my setup. Especially since I'm using mbox's. I have 2 questions. It seems like dovecot does not support mailboxes inside of a directories. Am I right in thinking this? Second I get the error message: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Error in IMAP command MYRIGHTS: Unknown command. My client is Thunderbird. Any work around for this? Thanks, Mike

You need to edit your dovecot.conf file to set that up: default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u Note that this changes the root of the hierarchy visible to the client. UW-IMAP rooted the tree at one's home directory. This config roots it at ~/mail. So your client config may need to change to match.> Second I get the error message: > > The current command did not succeed.

It has quite a few bug fixes.

Your directory must be named .something and have the usual Maildir layout.> Second I get the error message: > > The current command did not succeed.

Do you have an unusual option turned on? Or are you using a really old version? Although - I've never seen that message before and have been using Thunderbird for quite a while. Andrew
