I'm in the position where I'd like to offer IMAP access to a collection of email accounts which are stored in a very odd manner.
Files are stored as:
/blah/$dd-$mm-$yy/$domain/1234/1234For example:
/reject/12-3-2009/cvsrepository.org/35199/35199639There is a single file for each mail, which I guess technically probably counts as an mbox folder, but only just.
I can handle the custom login requirements I have, but I see no obvious way to create a mailstore from this information unless I build up a parallel symlink farm, such as:
/imap/cvsrepository.org/{new cur tmp}I suspect if I fill cur/ with symlinks to each of the individual messages things will mostly work out OK, but I wonder if that is the best solution, or if there is a slim chance that I could serve this hierarchy without the intermediate step?
