Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I'm going through the last phase of moving from a UW IMAP server to cyrus, but I don't understand how the mailbox hierarchy is supposed to work. According to a piece of documentation at the Cyrus website inboxes must be named user.userid and sub-folders must be named user.userid.boxname. So, I went ahead and created a box called user.myself. A directory /var/spool/imap/user/myself was creatd and checking through cyradm the mailbox's permissions defauled to myself all. With Pine, I checked the collections on the server and there was an INBOX. folder as well as the INBOX folder. I did some further experiments with both Pine and Netscape Messenger. When I added a folder blahbox with either mail client a directory /var/spool/imap/blahbox was created and checking through the permissions on that box defaulted to anyone lrs. Furthermore, in Pine a dir blahbox. was created alongside of the blahbox mail folder. If I add mailboxes called user.myself.blahbox through cyradm, they don't show up in the folder tree of my mail client. Is this what's supposed to happen? Have I configured Cyrus incorrectly? I can send a copy of my imapd.conf. Should I be using other mail clients instead? please cc me. tia john.
