I like to organize my folders by sub folders, and I don't see a way to do this. is this something that can be added or modified?
thanks.

Hi,

after many attempts i realized that in order to create a subfolder you must create a folder with the folowwing name:

folder.subfolder

where folder is the name of an allready existing folder and subfoflder is the name of the subfolder you want to create under folder.

I guess that depends on what imap server you're using.. the one I have (dovecot) requires a / in it instead of a .

dovecot defaultly uses dots as the separator.

http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir

I create subfolders as Folder.Subfolder and Dovecot will create the directory Maildir/.Folder.Subfolder.

wouldn't it be easier to make a "create as a subfolder of (pulldown)" or something like that?

Just to inform: For those users, which are on All-Inkl.com hosted webservers, the subfolder separation is also /

@Dropdown: Is it possible for the script to test, whether a folder is a subfolder or not and try an other separator? Maybe by checking the folder names. If the separator is still visible, it was the wrong one. Hopefully, / and . are the only two separators.
it\'s not a bug - it\'s a feature
