Im looking on the dovecot documentation about how to update the folder structure. I had some computer problems so I back up my mail and when I reinstalled I got rid of a bunch of unused old mail. But now when I open my mail client it still things all of those folders are still there. Im looking for how to update the file on what is and isnt there. wade

Either edit "subscriptions" (or ".subscriptions" if you're using mboxes) file and remove the mailboxes, or find out subscription list editor from your IMAP client. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Im using maildir format. I read in the documentation that one should not edit any of the dovecot files directly. wade On 6/12/07, Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi> wrote:> On Tue, 2007-06-12 at 18:32 -0500, Wade Smart wrote: > > Im looking on the dovecot documentation about how to update the folder > > structure. > > I had some computer problems so I back up my mail and when I > > reinstalled I got rid of a bunch of unused old mail.

Thunderbird, for example, keeps garbage around after folders are deleted which must be manually removed. Else, when Thunderbird starts up, phantom folders appear and disappear. -- Like feeling your best ever, all day, every day? Here's how... Your simple secrets are here - http://RadicalHealth.com
