I've started running dovecot on my server under Fedora 7, to act as an IMAPS server for kmail.
- I see my email fine on my laptop in an IMAPS account, but it doesn't get updated - I mean I don't get any new email - until I run kmail on my server. This isn't a great problem, as I am always logged to the server with ssh, and I just start kmail and stop it after a few minutes. Then I run kmail on my laptop, and the new mail is there.
But I assume this is not the intended system?
- I opted (probably mistakenly) to set ~/Mail/inbox/ as my base IMAPS directory on my server. I'd like to change this to ~/Maildir (I use maildir folders). Is it relatively easy to do this?
I tried copying my email to ~/Maildir/ and changing the setting in /etc/dovecot.conf (and restarting dovecot), but for some reason I could not see the email on my laptop.
Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.
