(Hope this is not a duplicate -- I tried sending it from Mozilla on
Linux (my first try) and it didn't seem to go, nor a subsequent test
mail to myself, so I'm remailing from Windows.  There are a few slight
changes from the original, enclosed in asterisks.  (PS: My mail server
definitely works, I can send mail from another Linux box via Pine -- I
just apparently don't have Mozilla on the other box set up correctly.)

Questions:

   * How do I create additional IMAP folders and make them "visible"
from another computer running an IMAP mail client?  (See "Background"
below *and note that I can see the inbox (under /var/spool/mail/dad) on
the email server*.)

   * Anybody know of a good concise reference on IMAP, especially one
that might touch on the above?

Background:

I've got a local email server running (finally ;-) ), and am using
procmail to do a few things, including filtering mail into different
folders on the email server.  (Under my user directory, /home/dad/mail.)

I've tried a few different IMAP email clients (primarily from Mandrake
8.2 -- Mozilla 0.9.8, KMail, Sylpheed (well it never comes up) and
Mohagany 0.64-2 on Windows) -- so far I can't see any of those other
folders from a client computer.  *I can see the inbox on the server from
the client computer.* (I haven't tried an IMAP client on the server
yet.)

Is there something special I must do to make a folder visible to an IMAP
client?  What?  Must the folders be below, for example,
/var/spool/mail(/dad) instead of /home/dad/mail to be visible to IMAP?

thanks,
Randy Kramer
