Solaris IMAP server displays users home dir contents

2007-12-25 9:22:00

I didn't get the solution that I wanted. I wanted there to be a software

way to configure the server to only show mailbox folders because we have

webmail software that uses this IMAP server, and this software does not

appear to have a show only subscribed folders option. But the solution

that I got from Chad Campbell was in netscape, make sure the option

"show only subscribed folders" is checked. This helped out on the PC's

running Netscape, but I still need a solution for our webmail software.

We had the same type of problem running the U. Wash. IMAP server. The

solution for us was to turn on the "show only subscribed folders" in the

Netscape client. If your client doesn't have such an option, there

might be an option to explicitly define a mail directory. Netscape

refers to this as the "IMAP server directory."
