preferred way to move an imap folder
Hello list.
What is the preferred way to move an imap folder. Lets say an User has.
.maildir/.INBOX.Junk
I want to move this imap folder to:
.maildir/.Junk
Can i just use:
mv .maildir/.INBOX.Junk .maildir/.Junk
and be done with that?
thanks and cheers t.

Yes, but if the mailbox is defined as being under .INBOX it will recreate it.

Thank you.
