There is a thing called "public folders" in the imap specs (IIRC). It is the #public namespace. If you use wu-imapd than it defaults to the home directory of the user "public". You can change it by patching the source, or by using the unsupported feature of the c-client config file. Here is a variation of my file: $ cat /etc/c-client.cf I accept the risk of using UW-imapd # Any line that does not begin with an 's' is a remark # This one is actually a default #set allow-user-config 0 # This will avoid the need of setting the clients to use ~/mail/ set mail-subdirectory mail set public-home-directory /var/imapd/public/ This would give you a public file folder available to the imap client. Whether or not this is useful, I'm not sure... There are other imap servers, mind you. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
