Ermwell, just right click on the subfolder, select "New subfolder", enter name, and voilà... With Dovecot/wu-imapd and mbox storage, It Just Works(tm). Heck, it even works with OutLook. With Courier IMAP and Maildir++ storage, it does _not_, and as far as I'm concerned, that's a fact. What I find really I don't expect a mail client to send different commands to different IMAP server software, since it cannot tell them apart anyway. Neither can it tell whether the storage is mbox or Maildir.

I want things to work, and as they don't currently, I'm trying to find a reason. If it's _really_ a problem with clients, then I think the Courier IMAP page should have a "Client issues" page such as this one for Dovecot: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Clients Regards, -- Francis Galiegue, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12bis rue de la Pierre Levée, 75011 PARIS +33143381980, +33683877875 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
