A directory can hold mail folders, but a mail folder cannot hold directories... Gwendolyn. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

A directory can hold mail folders, but a mail folder cannot hold directories... I have a subdirectory of a mail directory with courier-imap. ~/.maildir = inbox ~/.maildir/.Spam= where my spam goes ~/.maildir/.Spam.not= where my false positives will be moved to (for sa-learn) the above are INBOX (containing mail) Spam (containing spam) not (containing not-spam) -- Chris I I love mankind ...

How can mail be stored in a directory? .maildir is a directory, so there must be a file somewhere that holds your inbox mail (/var/spool/...?). The naming convention .. I understand. BTW, might the difference be in the maildir format and MH format? IIRC Sylpheed does not let me make mail folders nested in mail folders on my (old RedHat 7.1) courier-imap server.

I don't use maildir /w courier-imap, hence my confusion. I'm planning to migrate my RedHat mailserver to Gentoo in the not so far future, so it's good to know all this.
