using courier-imap, users are allowed to create folders under their inbox. i am thinking how delivering directly into these folders could be done (to implement user-defined mail filters). somehow, the folder information must be accessible to the delivery agent (maildrop, qmail-local...). is this the way to go?
I don't know what your problem is, so I'll try the "shotgun approach" at answering it.
1. When a user creates a folder using Courier IMAP a Maildir is made normally under $HOME/Maildir/ with the name of the folder prefixed with a dot.
2. As a valid Maildir all you have to tell an MDA like Maildrop to do is deliver mail that passes a specific filter to that Maildir. For example in my $HOME/.mailfilter I have (aside from DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir):
if ( /^Sender: cour...@lists.sourceforge.net/ ) to "Maildir/.linux
Courier"
3. I don't know if qmail-local has filtering capabilities. The $HOME/.qmail can be modified not to delivery to "./Maildir/", though. I suspect it can be edited to read "./Maildir/.linux Courier/". I'd go with making QMail use Maildrop as your MDA, though. That way you get to filter. :)
Good luck.
