I have Courier-IMAP installed successfully and can use it.
My problem is that it stores folders in ~/Maildir and pine won't read
those folders. So if you create a folder while using an IMAP client pine
won't see it on the server.
You would normally have Pine access the files over IMAP (inbox is
{localhost}INBOX), but I heard that there are Pine patches that can be made to
work directly with maildir.
I'd like to know if/how the folders could be made in ~/mail
Make ~/mail a symlink to ~/maildir? You'l find your folders there, but the stock
Pine wouldn't know what to do with them.
I'd also like to avoid using pine over the loopback to talk to the IMAP
server.
I think that would be the normal way to use it, though. Why install IMAP and not
use it?
I have pine with Maildir support. It works great accept that it doesn't
read the nested Maildir structure that Courier-IMAP does. As in when you
add a folder it goes in ~/Maildir.
If I can change where the new folders are created to ~/mail then pine
works fine. I tested a maildir in that location. Works wonderfully.
The reason I'm trying to avoid IMAP over the loopback with pine is it's
harder for some people to get used to. Not all the people understand how
it works.
Anyone know how to change where Courier-IMAP puts folders?
TIA
