hi,

I'm using courier-imap to view mail this works fine. But I'm trying to backup my maildirs ones a day to a windows machien, windows can't handel files that include one of the following characters

\/:*?"<>|

ones you have opent an message it is written to the Maildir/cur dir and the filenames get an name with an ":" in it. is there any way to tell courier to write an other name without that character?

This is a problem with your backup program, not with courier.

Why not use tar rather than a simple copy?
