RE: qmail, Maildir, IMAP, and MS Outlook
We use O2k courier-imap sitting on top of vpopmail - works fine. Allows webmail to plug in nicely too. -Original Message- From: Ricardo SIGNES [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 11 July 2001 23:04 To: David Talkington Cc: Sam Carleton; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: qmail, Maildir, IMAP, and MS Outlook In a message dated Wed, Jul 11, 2001 at 01:33:13AM -0500, David Talkington wrote: Sam Carleton wrote: Does anyone know of a IMAP server that get along with Outlook 2000 and that works with Maildir/?

qmail, Maildir, IMAP, and MS Outlook
Before folks start flaming me, I know Outlook sucks and I know that Microsoft has never written a decent piece of code. With that said... I am using qmail, because it is the best mail server out there. I would like to be able to configure MS Outlook so that it interacts with qmail the same way it does with Exchange. Or at least similar in the respect that one can manage folders and move mail around and it all stays on the server. My understanding is that IMAP is the solution. I have installed courier-IMAP, but from that mailing list I have learned that Outlook is not a standard MUA with respect it IMAP, or anything else for that matter. Does anyone know of a IMAP server that get along with Outlook 2000 and that works with Maildir/? Sam
Re: qmail, Maildir, IMAP, and MS Outlook
we use courier-imapd with no problems on our office mailserver, and some people here use Outlook with no problems. While courier can be a pain at times it's probably the best solution. You could also try UW imapd with the (unofficial) Maildir patches. i don't think anyone has problems moving folders around or whatever; we usually make all the folders subfolders of 'Maildir' so if I wanted to make a folder called foo The directory for foo would then be Maildir/.foo/ and if it had a subdirectory bar it would be Maildir/.foo/.bar/ I think you have to play around with the settings in OE a little to get them to recognize the folders but it should definitely work. It's not going to be as easy to configure as another MS product since, as you mentioned, but it should definitely work. perhaps you could let us know the settings you're using and the exact errors you're getting. You might try creating folders on the server and see if you can get outlook to recognize them. for instance, (not as root): % cd Maildir/ % /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake .foo will On Tue, Jul 10, 2001 at 10:18:51PM -0400, Sam Carleton wrote: Before folks start flaming me, I know Outlook sucks and I know that Microsoft has never written a decent piece of code.
