[TriLUG] imapd configuration and documentation

[Jon Carnes]

Having done this once before in the distant past, I believe you need to web 
over to the University of Washington and look there for the Documentation.  
The version I used was one of their projects, and I think RH is still using 
that version for Imap/Pop support.

Also, with that version, you can create other mailboxes, but you cannot 
create subfolders.  So you can't have a folder within a mailbox.  Though 
you can have as many mailbox folders as you would like.  

If something contains subfolders, then it is a directory and cannot contain 
mail.

If you change mail formats then you *might* be able to mix mail and 
folders, but you still won't have all the functionality that you are 
looking for.  

This is all info from the distant past using RH 6.x...
