The last time I checked, dovecot didn't support having nested IMAP folders be implemented via actual nested maildir folders in the filesystem, but that feature was on the "someday maybe it'll happen list", IIRC. I can't find any recent mention of that feature or its absence on the web or in the list archives; is it still on the someday list? (If it isn't implemented yet, does anyone know of an IMAP server that DOES support it?)

The reason it is not allowed appears to be for more efficient quota support; although I haven't reviewed it (Maildir++) thoroughly enough to be sure.> (If it isn't implemented yet, does anyone know of an IMAP server that > DOES support it?)Don't know, but you could use mbox format to get nested folders. With uw-imap, I think you could use mh format as well, which gets you close to maildir. -frank

Wouldn't require too much changing anymore to get it fully working. But it's not a priority for me, so I can't say when it's done.> (If it isn't implemented yet, does anyone know of an IMAP server that > DOES support it?)I don't think there are any. Maildir++ directory layout is pretty standard. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
