<my 0.02> Honestly this sounds like a bad idea. You are really opening up a can of worms since you could potentially have an unlimited number of subdirectories. New mail only originates in one place ./Maildir/new/ ./Maildir/cur/ is checked in case mail is left on the server or checked by imap, webmail, locally first (someone correct me if im wrong) pop3 is truthfully/originlly only made to check the new mail imap, webmail, etc is meant for those people who like to keep stuff server side and need the organization that subfolders provides there. you cant have your cake and eat it too... </my 0.02> -- Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Boyiazis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2001 9:24 PM Subject: pulling mail from other than new/cur (sorry again...better reply address) > Greetings, > We've got a POP3 setup working just fine, but there is a desire to > add IMAP servers so that web mail might be added also.
