That looks right. I have used fetchmail on machines running IMAP and
never had a problem with fetchmail delivering straight into my Maildir.Personally, I don't like clutter in my $HOME, so I changed the courier config to use ~/.Maildir instead of ~/Maildir. > To copy an existing $HOME/Mail/ structure > ========================================= > Can I just "cp Mail Maildir" then when I am happy just "rm -r Mail" > Is ~/Mail already in Maildir format? If not, I'd say the best bet is to setup courier-imap and then use something like procmail to bounce every message in ~/Mail back to yourself. > What documentation do you recommend reading? > > Using the MUA to access the "$HOME/Maildir/" is another 'kettle of fish' > > For mutt: > Mutt and IMAP (maintained by Brendan Cully) > http://mutt.sourceforge.net/imap/ > I've never had a problem with mutt and IMAP (using it now). I just set the default folder as imaps://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX and it works fine. I forget the exact settings, but they are well documented. If you need them, I can post mine out of my own config.
