Re: Courier-imap with Postfix: folders don't work correctly
It isn't necessary to copy me (or anyone else) personally, just the list is
fine.

I found this in the Courier FAQ:
"IMAP servers are free to define any root of the folder namespace tree that's
convenient for them. Courier's IMAP server uses INBOX as the folder
namespace root, rather than the root hierarchy itself."
IOW, it's a characteristic of Courier, not Maildir.
See <http://www.courier-mta.org/FAQ.html#namespace>.

Thanks for the tip. However, I don't personally have a problem (and I
wouldn't use Thunderbird, I'm a mutt fan). I'm trying to get it set up for
other people, who seem to use (as you might expect) over 50% Outlook.
