IMAP-problems

[Darko Obradovic <dobradovic gmx de>]

Hi all!

Once more I have to nerve you with a few things, this time it's about 
IMAP.
I've set up a nice courier-imapd on my server and so far I've brought 
it to a working state at least. :) Now I want to move my mail-system 
from the local machine to the imap-server.

I've added an IMAP-Folder in balsa, which is working. But there's some 
trouble with subfolders. On the remote machine, I have a 
".maildir"-directory in the home, which is the inbox at the same time, 
at least for now.
Balsa displays that as a folder INBOX.
When I want to create subfolders, I have to create them as subfolders 
of INBOX, it looks like there's no chance to get a folder in parallel 
to INBOX.

Reading a little on the documentation, I came across this:
http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/FAQ.html#namespace
and don't really understand much... does that mean, the INBOX shouldn't 
be displayed at all? I could specify to drop new mails into 
".maildir/inbox/" without problems...
Any clarification and help is welcome.

Apart from this, balsa crashes when I create a new subfolder via it. 
Not critical since I have shell-access and create the folders that way, 
but later on I wouldn't want to grant that to everybody.
If interested into further investigation, I could provide you with a 
box on that machine.

bye,

Darko
