That is, all messages are stored in a single file, which is seen by the client as a selectable folder containing messages. Physical folders that contain these files should be non-selectable. For instance, the default setting on my system (ClarkConnect 2.2) is as follows: /var/mail/user-id Inbox /home/user-id/ .mailboxlist /home/user-id/mail/ Sent Drafts Outbox Trash mail/ should non-selectable. Moreover, you cannot see this folder using Squirrelmail (albeit there may be an option to view these folders) and in Thunderbird the folder is visible (grey) but non-selectable.

One thing I have noticed is that TB! sometimes takes an inordinate amount of time to refresh the folder list and after this is done _all_ folders are grey with the exception of Inbox, (Sent and Outbox*.) They only return to black after a restart or if I Abort all in the CC. However, as soon as another folder is selected all folders not processed return to grey. Also, TB! sometimes seems to get bogged down executing a command (e.g. scanning a folder) with loads of other commands queued up... then it's time for a restart (or frequent use of Abort all.) Overall the latest build is a very good IMAP experience. However, I do use Procmail for filtering now. *These are local folders. I use a local Sent Mail folder and then automatically copy messages to the server's Sent folder. -- Best regards, Martin Webster Jabber mjw | ICQ 15893823 The Bat!
