You guys are talking past each other a bit, because Marten isn't using the right terminology. Marten, the directories beginning with . are called "Folders" in maildir++. The containing directory is called the "Maildir". It is rendered in most IMAP clients as "Inbox". So the section that Philip quotes above isn't talking about .Junk or .Trash; rather, it's talking about non-existent children of those directories, called something like ".Junk/.ThisSubfolderDoesntExist". - 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/
