Hi,
I've looked around a few times to see if I could figure the answer to this
question but I think I may not know the right question to ask...
The scenario I have is that I'm running dovecot, exim and procmail on one
server (using maildir storage) and also have apache on another server. I
can run squirrel mail, roundcube, etc. all on the web server and access
all my email just fine. I can run outlook or thunderbird or other imap
clients just fine too.
I have some smart phones that support imap mail servers, but when I set
them up to connect to my server, the client seems to have to sync up data
on all the mailboxes (lots of headers to download). All I really want on
my remote (phone based) imap clients is to view my inbox. I believe that
the subscriptions are done globally in that every client sees the same
subscriptions, so that doesn't seem like the way to narrow down what my
phone imap clients see.
On my HTC Touch Pro (Windows Mobile), it has its own idea of what the
folder subscriptions are and doesn't track the IMAP subscription info.
Which is good, because it chokes on my archive folders with a few
thousand messages per year. So I'm able to tell it to only look at Sent
& Inbox without messing up the subscriptions on the other IMAP clients
that also access that mailbox.
My other suggestion... split your high volume folders out to a 2nd IMAP
account.
