folx,
i have had fairly bad luck with the maildir patches to the UW server and
have been wondering if anyone else has these troubles:
-create didn't work as patch. had to do considerable work to change the
create method.
-mbox driver had to be deleted from the driver hierarchy in order to work
-pine4 as patched and UW as patched who each maildir as *both* a mailbox
(in the imap sens) and a folder of mailboxes (in the imap sense).
-renaming folders doesn't work.
i'm not trying to be picky but these seem like fairly basic functions so
i'm wondering if i'm just doing something wrong or if no one is really
running UW IMAP with maildirs in any production situation.
more feedback desired, truly.
