I have IMAP folder named ?IT Jobs?. That is a folder name with spaces characters.

The following 'to' statements do not work with maildrop: 1. to ?path/IT Jobs? 2. to ?path/IT\ Jobs?

How do I deliver mail to folder name with spaces characters?

I guess you didn't really try the questionmarks. Your mailer promised a mail in ASCII but delivered something else. If you used the same editor on your maildrop filter file, that might be your problem.

So: Try the usual quotes, both single and double.

Thanks for the reply.

My double quotes were replaced with question marks by Yahoo :(

I used the vi editor to edit the maildroprc on the Linux server itself.

I have tried both single quote and double quotes. It still doesn't work. That is, maildrop fails to deliver to the mail directory.

The above 'to' statements should be corrected as follows:

to '/path/sagara/.IT Jobs'

Any help in this regard is very much appreciated.
