Hi
I am confused and the more documentation I read I get more confused.
I have a two PC system, locally networked, no DNS plus a dial-up internet connection.
One PC is a Win2K and the other has Fedora FC1 with 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl kernel.
I installed Postfix 2.0.11 and Imap 2002 on the Fedora PC to be able to read my e-mail from Microsoft Outlook or Linux depending on which machine i was using at the time.
Both postfix and imap seem to work fine, nevertheless I am still confused regarding the following items.
1. How can I have nested (or sub-folders, or whatever way it is called) If I am working on Microsoft Outlook, I only see the Inbox box normally If I am working on Ximian, I see the Local folders and the Imap mailbox for my user. I want to creat sub-folders to classify my e-mail. I know I could create rules and transfer the e-mail to local folders, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having ONE e-mail repository whether I am working on Outlook or Evolution. Also, keeping in sync the two filter (outlook and evolution) lists will not be something I look forward to. My mailbox is on /var/mail/username
2. How can I control what gets transmitted and displayed at Microsoft Outlook for the "Folders". If I go to Tools->IMAP Folders in Microsoft Outlook, and uncheck the option that says "check to see only subscribed folders, and press the query bottom, I get to see all the contents of /home/username (all folders and files). Granted, I only see my folders, but it is disconcerting to be able to see up to the hidden folders without having formally granted access.
I appreciate whatever lights you can shed on these situation.
What IMAP server are you running and how is it configured. You -should- just be able to see a synchronized set of folders through IMAP, creating new ones as desired).
When you uncheck 'see only subscribed folders' in Outlook, that should get all of your IMAP folders. The fact that you see your home directory instead sounds like there's a misconfiguration of your IMAP server.
With thunderbird/mozilla mail you create new folders by right clicking your account or inbox and selecting 'new folder'... I don't use Evolution.
