Oh wow, that is simple. And makes perfect sense. Before my last reply I read the php IMAP command set definitions/parameters and I didn't see anything about how to do this, which is an odd omission in documentation. I guess so few people use mbox these days they omit that case from the docs. I hit three different sources and none of them mentioned the trailing slash for creating 'sub-folders-only' folders... > Thanks for your time anyway! You're welcome. Sorry I didn't get you the answer, but I'm glad you were able to figure it out on your own. -- Stan > 25.12.2011 3:50, Stan Hoeppner пишет: >> On 12/24/2011 10:26 AM, Alexander Chekalin wrote: >>> Stan, thank you for the reply, >>> >>> But I believe I obey this rule: I create "folder with ONLY folders >>> inside", then in it another "folder with ONLY folders inside", and >>> the into this second folder I create "folder with ONLY messages >>> inside" (the path is "oldmail/lists/dovecot", and oldmail and lists >>> are folders in filesystem, while dovecot is mbox container in >>> filesystem). >>> >>> My problem is I can not understand which way should I create "folder >>> with ONLY folders inside", and which way to create messages-only >>> folder, going down to IMAP protocol commands.
