Courier IMAP Mailfolder structur

[TobiasN]

Hello,

is it possible to store the IMAP mail folders under the same level as the input box? or is recomended to store them in the input box in unix form like e.g.

Maildir/input
Maildir/friends
Maildir/toasters

and so on

regards

I seem to recall that with IMAP the client is *supposed* to see a structure likw this:
INBOX
       |----INPUT
       |----FRIENDS
       |----STUFF
Where INBOX is the root and everything is a subfolder of that. Some IMAP client/servers do it this way, some its an option, and some do it where the root INBOX is above the inbox.

As far as the server file hierarchy goes I think youll want everything in Maildir. So Maildir is implicitly the INBOX that client sees, with everything else showing up as
Maildir/.Input
Maildir/.Friends
etc.
