Well, no, not really. The reason for this symlink hack is that IMAP defines the folder INBOX to be the place where new mail arrives. (Or if it doesn't, at least that has become the defacto standard.) But most delivery systems are designed to deliver into a single, stand- alone maildir, the delivery systems don't know and don't care about any other folders in the Maildir.So the symlink is used instead of changing the delivery program so that it delivers to Maildir/INBOX, which would certainly be a cleaner solution.
What about something like this: #!/bin/sh [ ! -d IMAPdir ] && mkdir IMAPdir [ ! -L IMAPdir/INBOX ] && ln -s `pwd`/Maildir IMAPdir/INBOX exec $@That way programs that deliver to the Maildir can continue unchanged, and Binc can just use the IMAPdir next to the Maildir.
'course, I use this script: #!/bin/sh [ ! -d $HOME/IMAPdir ] && maildir2imapdir.pl "$HOME/Maildir" \ "$HOME/IMAPdir" && rm -rf $HOME/Maildir.bak exec $@Where the maildir2imapdir.pl script is the one that was posted to this list a while back (http://www.bincimap.andreas.hanssen.name/archive/?0::1082)
