I'm trying to use a script to create a mailbox structure. I'm aware
that the structure should look like:
~/.maildir/.INBOX/{cur,tmp,new}
~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder1/{cur,tmp,new}
~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2/{cur,tmp,new}
~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2.Subsubfolder1/{cur,tmp,new}
...
I have tried manually making those directories and using the
"maildirmake.dovecot" command that my system has. I feel that in the
past, folders I have made this way worked. However, now none are
showing up in my clients.
In Thunderbird, they aren't even listed on the "Subscribe" window for
me to enable. Using Squirrelmail doesn't show them either.
Essentially what I am doing is taking my current IMAP dir structure,
and making a copy in a subfolder called ".INBOX.Archive.<year>" to
archive my old mail. Thus, .INBOX.Subfolder1.Subfolder2 becomes
.INBOX.Archive.2009.Subfolder1.Subfolder2.
Since you have gotten as far as asking on the mailing list, it may be
worth just sanity checking that your folders are being created under the
correct user and group IDs.
