Hi Ok, let me make myself clear. what I want to do is: 1. setup a qmail and set the Maildir format as the default mailbox ( casue it's safety over a NFS ) so creat a .qmail under, let's say ~man/ ie: ~man/.qmail and in the ~man/.qmail I write ./Maildir/ and then I maildirmake a Maildir under ~man/ so we got a ~man/Maildir and under the ~man/Maildir there are ( new, cur, tmp ) sub-directory. 2. I intall the qmail-imap-4.5.beta-2.i386.rpm with all default configuration. Then I point the client netscape messanger to the imap server, and the ~man/Maildir was recognized as the inbox on the client side, and I can read message in it. 3. I want to add a new folder with a Maildir format from the client side,so I make it as fd1, but I only got one plain text file like file on the server side.and I can't move any message into the new folder fd1. My question is : Is it possbile to creat a Maildir format folder on the server side through the client? or it's a limit that imapd can't creat a Maildir format new folder, but just can read it? and is it safe enough for us to use a imap plain text format folder under a NFS? |> |> |> 1. it doesn't work when I use the ~/Mailbox format when |> I connect to the qmail-imap server using a netscape messanger client, |> it seems that the client read the ~/Maildir only as its inbox. | | |I'm not sure about this.

That's normal. |Folders must be created as peers to INBOX, not subfolders under INBOX. |The folders will indeed be under ~/. | |> 3.
