Just curious, what does the result of a LIST with "~/Mail" look like on UW IMAP? What is the top node labeled as? I guess I could add a parameter to control the behaviour of the LIST call.
Cheers, Ryan

Hi Ryan,
I thought I'd jump in on this since it gives me a good reason to learn a little more about how IMAP works. ;-)
I logged in via telnet to my test system and determined (with some help from the IMAP4 RFC) that the command being executed is
LIST "" *
Since the UW IMAP server logs the user into their system account I can only assume that this drops them into their home directory. If I execute the requested command it will return nothing unless a Mail directory exists in the users subdirectory. (I have one user setup this way from earlier tests and one without the directory.)
Executing the command LIST Mail * returns the same as LIST ~/Mail * for the user with a Mail directory.
I will attempt to do some checking on the functionality of the .imaprc file that is sort of documented and see if this can be used to work past the problem.
If you can figure out improvements on how to configure UW IMAP for interoperation with WorldPilot that would be great. We're currently lacking a UW IMAP server with a reasonable amount of data on it for looking into the issues. I'm putting in a parameter to control the LIST call, I think that should reduce the load for the large part of the users, but we're open for any further adaptions. Cheers, Ryan
