Mmm. One of our testing clients is Outlook and it seems to work fine. I know
with Courier IMAP (which I played with about a year ago), everything was a
subfolder of INBOX. They reserved the root tree for Shared folders and
stuff. The problem was Outlook express for one didn't every try to call
capabilities so it didn't know this and always used to barf when trying to
create folders. I made some hacks to change the namespace which solved that
problem for me.
Moving back to dbmail -- I think the way dbmail does it *is* compatible with
outlook/express. I do seem to recall that there were some characters that
were needed in the AcceptedMailboxChars array -- which may be especially
relevant if you're trying to use any funny character sets or using
punctuation, etc. Try with a few basic names and setting the debug level to
5. It may give you more of a clue.

Thanks for clearing that up. I can create sub-folders in Outlook, but I
use Ximian Evolution (1.2.0) on Linux and cannot seem to figure out how
to have Evolution create sub-folders. Does know how to do this, or what
configuration to make to Evolution.

Check your mail client's mailbox delimiter settings. I think dbmail uses
the
following syntax:
INBOX
INBOX/Sub folder of Inbox
Folder in root level
Quickly looking through the source, it looks like dbmail doesn't support
the
namespace directive, which tells the mail client (from memory) what
the
root folder is and what the delimiter is.
It probably defaults to . or something.

Will DBMail support sub-folder creation through IMAP? Or did I not
configure something correctly, b/c I'm only able to create folders
directly at the root (same level as INBOX).
