RE: [gentoo-user] Nested Maildirs
I think you are referring to the fact that courier-imap does not support directories hat also hold mail. 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) I'm (pleasantly) surprised. 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 dir.dir.mbox 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.

(...) so there must be a file somewhere that holds your inbox mail (/var/spool/...?). inbox = ~/Maildir/[cur,new,tmp]/ http://www.qmail.org/qmail-manual-html/man5/maildir.html Thanks for the reply. 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.

What am I doing wrong? :) I can't tell you the best way to do things, but... courier-imap doesn't support nested dirs. I use kmail which has a maildir-like directory stucture. However, your structure in kmail would be stored as: .maildir/spam .maildir/.spam.directory .maildir/.spam.directory/probable .maildir/.spam.directory/record .maildir/.spam.directory/sure Try using mutt to create a nested dir and then use procmail to put it into that dir. Of course, that doesn't help with courier-imap tho.. Sorry I couldn't be of more help! Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
