First off, please don't screw up the threading. I.e., if you have a new subject to discuss, just compose a new message and send it to the list, rather than responding to another message and changing the subject line.Hey all, First off, I am a fairly experienced unix/linux user, and want to say that I switched from RedHat to Debian after "security update rpm hell", and Debian has more than impressed. From start to finish this is the BEST linux I've seen. Ok, now to my question. I can't seem to find anywhere in the docs how to change uw-imapd to deliver to ~/Maildir. It's delivering mail just fine at this point to ~/mbox, but I'm accessing my mail from multiple clients, and if I leave a client open, I get mailbox locking problems. Thanks in advance for the help. -Shane
As far as your problem, this is what I found in the documentation: From /usr/share/doc/uw-imapd-ssl/README.Debian.gz: 5. mbox driverThis package has the mbox driver enabled which means that if there is a file in
your $HOME directory called mbox it will be treated as your inbox and all mail in your system inbox (/var/mail/<your login>) will immediately be transfered there on access.My guess is that the mere existence of ~/mbox causes uw-imap to use it. If you remove the mbox file, it won't use it anymore. I run uw-imap for my users in a lab at school and all mail ends up in ~/mail/. That appears to be the default for uw-imap.
Hope this helps, -Roberto
