Hacking the pop server prooved effective for me... not that I'm endorsing it or claiming it's problem free yet. Pretty simple though if you look at the code. Which I should have waded through before asking I guess **insert sheepish grin here**
I now have a second pop3d, running on an alternate port, that uses a specific subfolder as it's source. If I got REALLY adventurous I might try removing this folder from the visible list of IMAP folders, but I'll save that for another day. thanks. m/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kurt Bigler Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 1:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [courier-users] Need to POP for only SOME of the IMAP mail?Any ideas? on 3/6/03 11:41 AM, Brian Candler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Mar 06, 2003 at 09:04:10AM -0800, Mitch (WebCob) wrote: >> Perhaps I could run a second pop3 daemon customized to pull from a specific >> folder? >> >> Would this be a big change?

Quotas aside, is it strictly impossible for Maildirs to be nested? I've wondered the same thing for similar reasons - wanted to create a spam subfolder that could be accessed via a separate pop account, possibly by using a hyphenated suffix on the main account. Potential IMAP access would also be desirable and I have to admit I currently know nothing about how IMAP handles subfolders in relation to the Maildir structure - because I have not installed IMAP yet (which is one of the reasons I am lurking here). But I figured off-hand that a Maildir could be directly inside another Maildir (not inside of cur or new) without breaking anything much. Isn't it just a question of whether the admin tools used to create/maintain the overall directory structure of the Maildirs can handle it? (Not that that isn't a big requirement - but it might then just be a matter of working out the details.) And then of course, whatever IMAP issues I may be unaware of. -Kurt Bigler > > If it were that simple, you could just return the appropriate path to the > Maildir from your authentication database. > > Regards, > > Brian. > >> >> Can anyone suggest where I start looking in the code? >> >> thanks >> >> m/ >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Brian Candler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 3:47 AM >> To: Mitch (WebCob) >> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Subject: Re: [courier-users] Need to POP for only SOME of the IMAP mail? >> Any ideas? >> >> >> On Wed, Mar 05, 2003 at 03:22:10PM -0800, Mitch (WebCob) wrote: >>> I apologize for the repost, but I didn't see any reply... not sure if my >>> questions are too easy, too hard, or not getting out ;-) Thanks. >> >> You cannot pop from anything other than INBOX.
