Courier IMAP shared folders

["Pete Clarke" <pete@dynotechnic.co.uk>]

Hi all,

I have a working installation of courier-imap for general mail delivery, the
problem I am having is with shared folders.

I can set up shared folders thus:

maildirmake -S /home/shared/maildir
maildirmake -s write -f Announcements /home/shared/maildir

create /etc/courier/maildirshared with:

Announcements<tab>/home/shared/maildir/

This results in the shared folder being active ... all well and good...
Trouble is, when OE (I know, I know) connects, it sees the shared folders
as:

shared
   - Announcements
       - Announcements

Both shared and the first level Announcements are un-readable as far as OE
is concerned...but the last one is OK.

Is this a problem with the way I have set up the shared folder, or does it
look like an OE issue? changing clients on the Windows boxes is not a
problem, as long as it's not Thunderbird (bad experience)..

I haven't got a Linux client that is working at the moment, so I don't know
if Linux mail clients can see the folders correctly.

TIA..


Cheers,



Pete.
