RE: subfolders in Inbox only?

Milos,

My understanding of the issue you describe is that this is all to do
with the IMAP server that you use and the Maildir format that it 
supports.

Binc IMAP have a good description of some of the differences between
Maildir formats at:

http://www.bincimap.org/bincimap-imapdir.html

Sounds like Cyrus supports Maildir++.

Hope this heads you in the right direction.

Kind Regards,

Subject: [vmailmgr] subfolders in Inbox only?

Hi all,

My installation of vmailmgr and Cyrus-IMAP works fine but it's not 
possible to create folders via IMAP client.

Actually, I can create folders, but only as subfolders of Inbox. I 
cannot create folders in the "root".

Directory structure reveals that IMAP tries to create folders "one level 
up", which I fear is the cause of this problem. Example:

- My virtual user is jim, my virtual domain is ewine.
- vsetup created /home/ewine/users.
- "vadduser jim" created /home/ewine/users/jim/{cur,new,tmp}. This is 
"Inbox".
- If IMAP client creates a subdir of Inbox named "sub", the following 
directories are created: /home/ewine/users/jim/.sub/{cur,new,tmp} is 
created. Notice the dot in front of "sub".

You see that although this "sub" directory is shown as an Inbox's 
subdirectory, it is not created within Inbox on the filesystem, but on 
the same level - in the "root" directory "/home/ewine/users/jim". 
Presumably, when IMAP is asked to create a subdirectory in the root, it 
tries to create the subdirectory in "/home/ewine/users", and that's 
correctly refused.

Is vmailmgr responsible for this? Is the dot in front of sub a useful 
clue? Is there a configuration file I need to tweak?
