Charles,
Thanks for much for your tips...I have gotten further!
I did have a userdb section, but I commented it out because it didn't
seem to do anything. I've added it back in, and now home= is filled in
appropriately. Now my mail clients aren't complaining!
However, Thunderbird, Outloook, etc, are still not able to list private
folders. If I make a new folder, it gets created in /home/%u/mail as it
should, but Thunderbird removes it again on the next refresh. If I use
the mail client on my Android phone which does a raw directory listing,
I'm put into the correct /home/%u/mail folder, so that part is working.
So this seems to be a foldering listing problem? I've copied in the
UW-IMAP namespace section from the WIKI.
HEre's my current config file, any thoughts as to why Thunderbird isn't
picking up the private folders?
