Subject:[courier-users] Mail.app shows Empty InboxActions...

Hey All,

I have been using courier-imap for some time now with several different IMAP clients with no problems. I have a problem with Mail.app on Mac OS X though that is very curious and I am wondering if anybody has seen it before.

The problem I have is that Mail.app shows my Inbox as having no messages in it. I have tried creating a symlink within my .maildir like so: cd ~/.maildir ln -s . .IN

When I do this the IN folder shows up but also indicates that it has no messages in the folder. All other folders seem to work fine including shared folders, and the symlinked IN box works fine in other IMAP clients but not in Mail.app.

I have also tried creating symlinks named INBOX, Inbox, INBOX. and other variations which don't show up in Mail.app at all but none fixed the problem. I have also played around with the folder setting with no luck either.

Has anybody seen this before. Any hints as to a solution?

Thanks, -Nick
