I'm not an expert, but I do know a little bit about it. Here's an excerpt from the maildir manpage: > Folders are additional subdirectories in the maildir whose names > begin with a period: such as .Drafts or .Sent.

So a folder is, for most purposes, a maildir itself; it has its own tmp/new/cur structure, and can be delivered to directly. But it has the "maildirfolder" marker file to indicate that it's a folder, so when you're doing things like calculating quota, you can look for that marker, and if it's there, instead calculate quota based on the parent directory, which will be the containing root maildir. - Marc -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
