Did this. Using mutt directly it works fine. But courier-imap does not

Are you using the {host}INBOX format? Try opening a connection
to the server yourself.
~$ telnet localhost 143
courier-imap's greeting stuff
Enter these commands:
A1 LOGIN name pass
A1 STATUS INBOX (unseen)
That should tell you how many new message are in the Inbox. Did
that work? If it did, it's a Mutt problem. Otherwise, the problem
is somewhere else. You can look in ~/Maildir/cur and
~/Maildir/new to see if there are any actual messages in there.
Do I need a subfolder at this stage? I take it it should work with just
Maildir, won't it?
No, you don't need subfolders; i was just demonstrating how to
use them.

But I never used a maildir type mailbox before. However, I cannot find any sufficient docs. I know I have to configure procmail accordingly which was rather easy. Then I ran maildirmake.courier with several names. It worked since mutt was able to read the mail. But the imap server keeps telling me there is no mailbox. I'm using Postfix, Courier-imap, and Mutt successfully. You have to use 'maildirmake.courier Maildir' in the user's home directory, which will create ~/Maildir. This is the INBOX courier uses. Then, if you want to create sub-folders (for example, a sent box) use a command like this: ~$ maildirmake.courier-imap -f Sent Maildir This will create ~/Maildir/.Sent which you can access via IMAP as INBOX.Sent. -- Eric Gillespie, Jr. * [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I give food to the poor I am called a saint, when I ask why they go hungry I am called a communist --Bishop Helder Camara pgpMtohT2hHiV.pgp Description: PGP signature
