If you use IMAP, then the IMAP server's configuration determines how it stores your mail (maildir, mbox, or otherwise). Your mail client doesn't control that, at all, doesn't care, and doesn't even know. Your mail client may also keep a local cache, and it can do that however it likes. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Some time back - not as far as 2003, I think, Mandriva stored mail in ~/Mail - and kmail always worked with it. I have never seen any indication that KMail either copies or moves mail from its origin. The whole discussion is being made inpenetrable, too, by the use of a mail format name as a directory. Maildir is a format, as is mbox. What format of mail is this question about? Christoph seems to say that he is talking about the Maildir format. If he looks, for instance, at Inbox he will see no mail. If he looks at Inbox/cur his mail should be there. I use maildir format, with kmail, for my mail, and thunderbird has no difficulty finding it. I have never used mutt, but I suggest that it may well be looking in the wrong place.
