Mail or Maildir? ..
Maildir. I also lets you put folders in a Mail directory, but that has nothing to do with Maildir. From IMP you can create an imap directory pretty much where you want.
I don't really know what format uw-imap's maildir patch uses, but I'm guessing it's not Maildir++ which Dovecot and Courier use. Maildir++ works like:
No, it's not Maildir++, that is my problem.
~/Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} = INBOX ~/Maildir/.folder/{cur,new,tmp} = folder ~/Maildir/.folder.subfolder/{cur,new,tmp} = folder.subfolder
ie. everything under ~/Maildir/, hierarchies separated by dot.
I've been thinking on supporting something like what I'd guess uw-imap's maildir uses:
~/Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} = INBOX ~/Maildir/folder/{cur,new,tmp} = folder ~/Maildir/folder/subfolder/{cur,new,tmp} = folder/subfolder
Yes, that is the format used by wu-imap.
One bad thing with that format is that you can't have mailbox named cur, new or tmp. Anyway, supporting that format isn't really in my short term plans..
No problem, I think that a converter added to dovecot would be a much better solution.
Hmm. Was it also uw-imap's maildir patch that added the UID into maildir filename like: 12345,U=uid? I was also considering on supporting it, but I think it had some problems..
No, it's not IMO. Thank you, Timo.
