Thanks for the reply David, The directive 'home_mailbox = Maildir/' is already in the main.cf file.

The default # value of 65536 sets a very generous limit of 64 megabytes, which should # be more than plenty for anyone. # # This feature is used as an additional safety check that should stop # any potential denial-of-service attacks that exploit any kind of # a memory leak to exhaust all the available memory on the server. # It is theoretically possible that obscenely huge folders will also # result in the server running out of memory when doing server-side # sorting (by my calculations you have to have at least 100,000 messages # in a single folder, for that to happen). IMAP_ULIMITD=65536 ##NAME: IMAP_USELOCKS:0 # # Setting IMAP_USELOCKS to 1 will use dot-locking to support concurrent # multiple access to the same folder. This incurs slight additional # overhead.

This is a global setting that is applied to # every mail account, and is probably useful in a controlled, corporate # environment. # # Important: the purging is controlled by CTIME, not MTIME (the file time # as shown by ls). It is perfectly ordinary to see stuff in Trash that's # a year old. That's the file modification time, MTIME, that's displayed. # This is generally when the message was originally delivered to this # mailbox. Purging is controlled by a different timestamp, CTIME, which is # changed when the file is moved to the Trash folder (and at other times too). # # You might want to disable this setting in certain situations - it results # in a stat() of every file in each folder, at login and logout. # IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7 ##NAME: IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH:0 # # Set IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH to move expunged messages to Trash. This # effectively allows an undo of message deletion by fishing the deleted # mail from trash. Trash can be manually expunged as usually, and mail # will get automatically expunged from Trash according to IMAP_EMPTYTRASH. # # NOTE: shared folders are still expunged as usual. Shared folders are # not affected. # IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH=0 ##NAME: OUTBOX:0 # # The next set of options deal with the "Outbox" enhancement. # Uncomment the following setting to create a special folder, named # INBOX.Outbox # # OUTBOX=.Outbox ##NAME: SENDMAIL:0 # # If OUTBOX is defined, mail can be sent via the IMAP connection by copying # a message to the INBOX.Outbox folder. For all practical matters, # INBOX.Outbox looks and behaves just like any other IMAP folder. If this # folder doesn't exist it must be created by the IMAP mail client, just # like any other IMAP folder. The kicker: any message copied or moved to # this folder is will be E-mailed by the Courier-IMAP server, by running # the SENDMAIL program. Therefore, messages copied or moved to this # folder must be well-formed RFC-2822 messages, with the recipient list # specified in the To:, Cc:, and Bcc: headers. Courier-IMAP relies on # SENDMAIL to read the recipient list from these headers (and delete the Bcc: # header) by running the command "$SENDMAIL -oi -t -f $SENDER", with the # message piped on standard input. $SENDER will be the return address # of the message, which is set by the authentication module. # # DO NOT MODIFY SENDMAIL, below, unless you know what you're doing. # SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail ##NAME: HEADERFROM:0 # # For administrative and oversight purposes, the return address, $SENDER # will also be saved in the X-IMAP-Sender mail header. This header gets # added to the sent E-mail (but it doesn't get saved in the copy of the # message that's saved in the folder) # # WARNING - By enabling OUTBOX above, *every* IMAP mail client will receive # the magic OUTBOX treatment. Therefore advance LARTing is in order for # _all_ of your lusers, until every one of them is aware of this. Otherwise if # OUTBOX is left at its default setting - a folder name that might be used # accidentally - some people may be in for a rude surprise. You can redefine # the name of the magic folder by changing OUTBOX, above. You should do that # and pick a less-obvious name.
