Hello everybody, I have a question regarding the LIST command and about how it is handled by UW-IMAPD.
The "default" installation of imapd returns the following result for an average user on ubuntu linux: 00000004 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" .bash_logout / .bash_logout, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoSelect \HasChildren) "/" mail / mail, no select * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" mail/postponed-msgs / mail/postponed-msgs, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" mail/sent-mail / mail/sent-mail, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" mail/saved-messages / mail/saved-messages, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" .pinerc / .pinerc, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" .profile / .profile, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" .bashrc / .bashrc, no inferiors, unmarked * LIST (\NoSelect \HasNoChildren) "/" .ssh / .ssh, no select * LIST (\NoInferiors) NIL INBOX NIL INBOX, no inferiors 00000004 OK LIST completed You can easily recognize the alpine part underneath mail/. But what's the best way to handle the mailboxes at hierarchy level 1? Here you see .pinerc, .profile, etc. The ls command of unix will not show those files or directories unless you use the -a option. On the other hand uw-imapd does show the hidden files. 1. Is this a configuration issue or is it a protocol issue? 2. Has that ever been discussed in the imap-wg weither ot show hidden hidden files or not?
