Hello,
Thanks to everybody that have given contributions to my problem, it helped me
very much.
What was my problem? I wanted to gather all my mailboxes into one. These
mailboxes could be imap, pop, KMail, ... (Maildir structure only: Mozilla for
example cannot enter this logic). At first, i tried to configure one by one
all these software to adapt them to my single mailbox structure. It is not
possible.
My solution is to build 1 Maildir stucture used by my MTA. Then, for each
software (imap, pop, KMail, ...), I keep their own structures whereas in each
folder I replace cur/ new/ and tmp/ by symbolic links to these folders in my
basic Maildir structure. That's all!
It's not a perfect solution because:
1. When a webmail user creates a folder, i have to update manually in the
basic mailbox.
2. Some MUA as KMail use hidden files whith emails index. Changing for example
a message into "read" from imap makes this message unreadable by KMail. It is
then necessary to erase these hidden files before launching KMail again.
3. This solution doesn't deal with the mailbox structure programs as Mozilla
for example.
The good solution would be a long-long script that would clean all these
missing.
