I use dovecot to serve up IMAP. 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

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
