I'm moving to IMAP and trying to understand all the details of where to save email. The system is CentOS running sendmail - procmail which delivers as:
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
I'm trying also to use Usermin as the webmail client. I can get mail to deliver to $HOME/Maildir/ and I can get clients (thunderbird outlook etc) to view them. However Usermin seems stuck with saving 'Drafts' 'Sent' and 'Trash' in $HOME/mail/ as mbox and Dovecot won't find them even when I use the setting:
maildir:~/Maildir:mbox:~/mail/
I don't know what exact question to ask to I'll just ask for any thoughts on this?
Second question, different topic. Are there problems with running POP3 and IMAP? I've always run POP3 and I'm thinking to move to IMAP for some clients so the Usermin webmail will be better 'synchronized' with the users inbox.
