It may just be my own fault, I've done more with Dovecot today than I have with Courier so that's where I'm getting my information. But in my initial playing, I found that both tools want my mail folders (other than INBOX) to have a leading dot in the filename, .Gmail for instance (my don't). I'm looking around Courier's docs to see if I can get around that, seems I can't with Dovecot (see below).
http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir under Directory Structure states "if your maildir folders exist in eg. ~/Maildir/folder and ~/Maildir/folder/subfolder, Dovecot won't see them unless you rename them to Maildir++ layout." So if I understand correctly, I just didn't follow the "right" naming convention when I started exploring mutt and mail formats. I'm still reading, it may turn out that everything I've just written is completely wrong, this is the fun part :) On Fri, May 02, 2008 at 02:41:27PM -0400, Michael ODonnell wrote: > > > According to the "Definitions, and goals" section here: > > http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html > > ...you shouldn't have to care: > > Maildir++ and Maildir shall be completely interchangeable. > A Maildir++ client will be able to use a standard Maildir, > automatically "upgrading" it in the process.
