When trying to create subfolders RoundCube simply tells me that an error occurred while saving.
We looked at the server file and when creating the folders it is creating them as files, which is fine but when we need to add sub folders I thought they needed to be directories. I only assume this because when we do the same thing in Squirrel Mail and tell it that we want to be able to create subfolders in the folder it creates it as a directory!
Any help would be appreciated!

That's correct. You can only have subfolders (or submailboxes), the parent mailbox has to be a folder on your IMAP-server. The mbox-format create files and does not allow subfolders, maildir creates folders and allows subfolders.
Please check the configuration of your IMAP-server
-
Therefore how is squirrel mail able to create subfolders?

Does it actually create a subfolder, or just displays it that way? You should be able to check that when connecting to that server using IMAP (i.e. with thunderbird)? Or on the server itself when you have shell access
-
Have checked in Outlook and it is actually creating the sub folders.

What IMAP-server is being used?

How would I check this? Sorry I am not very good with servers! :)

Have got DirectAdmin installed, can I get the info from here?

Can't seem to do this, can I find out from DirectAdmin?

I'm not familiar with DirectAdmin. Just checked the demo. You can see some information from
AdminTools > System Information
AdminTools > Service Monitor
Check for dovecot, cyrus or courier

vm-Pop3d 1.1.7f-T6-DA Running
This is a POP3-server. From what I've read on the internet (http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=96984) imap is served using xinetd.
Maybe RC can't handle that as good as Outlook or Squirrelmail can.
-
Damn, that's a pain, I really want to use RC but this is quite a major problem!
Thank you for all of your help

Wondering if anyone else had any ideas on a solution for this problem?

Hi, I'm bumping this thread because I have the save problem.
Every time I try to create a subfolder it says that "An error occurred while saving".
I've checked my dovecot.conf file but I'm completely new to this and I have no idea how to enable maildir.
I tried uncommenting the "mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir" line, but that didn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi!
This is not really a roundcube prob.
Google for a dovecot template/setup with maildir support.

Hi,
I did read quite a lot of documentation and tutorials before posting here, but what I found today finally did the trick.
The tutorial is here: http://www.mill-yard.com/2011/06/centos-dovecot-sendmail-imap-and-maildir/
For anyone having the same problem using Dovecot with Sendmail/Procmail:
1) Edit your Dovecot settings. You can do this either by editing your /etc/dovecot.conf file directly, or through your Webmin, in Servers > Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Server > Edit the configuration file.
Find this line:
#mail_location =
Replace it with:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
(Make sure you removed the "#")
2) Stop your Dovecot server then restart it, or else the changes won't be applied. It only takes a few seconds.
3) Edit Procmail settings. Either by adding the 2 following lines at the very beginning of the /etc/procmailrc file directly:
ORGMAIL=$HOME/Maildir/
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
Or through your Webmin, in Servers>Procmail Mail Filter, click on Add new variable setting, then enter the following:
Variable name: ORGMAIL
Value: $HOME/Maildir/
Save.
Then click on Add new variable setting again and enter:
Variable name: DEFAULT
Value: $HOME/Maildir/
Save.
All done! You can now create subfolders in your IMAP account.
Note: Your e-mails may no longer appear on your account, because they are still in the "mail" directory instead of the "Maildir" directory at the root of your username folder. I believe the link above provides a way to transfer old e-mails to the new folder.

Hi!
Nice to see you found a solution.
:D
I use postfix with courier only. So my help is very limited...
