this is one of the points i really hated with uw-imapd. if you have a unix home used a bit you will have a lot of folders. everytime you start with a fresh mua it scanned _all_ folders of my homedir if i forgot to say "only look in ~/Mail". it took really _long_ to get the initial list. e.g. some muas like sylpheed try to connect to the imap server after setting up only server/user name. no chance to specify the mail path....
- have the imap server autorecognize the format of any mail folder that the client directs it to look at.
hmhm on of the points of maildir+ was using the leading "." to allow a mixed setup with other maildir/mbox formats. so imagine we have: ~/Maildir/.foo/ (maildir+) ~/Maildir/foo (mbox)
which one will be shown?
Can this be done? Have I missed something? dunno
