My maildir folders look like this: ~/.maildir/.INBOX ~/.maildir/.INBOX.fedora ~/.maildir/.INBOX.razor-users ~/.maildir/.spam In my mail client, the folders appear like this: INBOX fedora razor-users spam Travis Fraser Hi Travis! That was my point. I did not have an .INBOX entry before. I could move everyone below INBOX and let them gain the prefix .INBOX, but then I have to modify all of my procmailrc rules for classifying my e-mail. I'd rather not do it, but if I have to I will. I am just being a little lazy looking for an easy way out. I wonder. Do Dovecot and Courier-IMAP have different ways to treat the hierarchy? I do not remember a .Inbox under Courier-IMAP. Is it a best practice to have a .inbox? Thanks -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
