Out with imap-uw.. I tried dovecot but I was unable to get it to create subfolders, although it seems some say you can, may people are having problems doing so, and I didn't like the fact that it changes the format of the folders from the mbox standard. So I tried cyrus-imap. It did allow me to create subfolders. Cyrus however seems like it is a system-wide program. Where with imap-uw and dovecot I could still keep my old non-imap mailboxes in tact cyrus wants seemingly to control everything, doing away with /var/mail and setting up it's own email format. So I guess I'm hoping to get an imap-uw like imap, but one where I can creat folders. any suggestions?
