12/4 /var/spool/mail/<user> holds our INBOX file. But where is our IMAP
folders physically held?
\_ IMAP a protocol used for online mail viewing. By default, you
don't have an IMAP folder unless you specifically ask for one
(like you would get a uclink4 POP3 account). /var/spool/mail
is the standard location on unix systems (/usr/mail on some)
to store mail so I'm not sure what you're talking about when
you ask where our IMAP folders are located.
\_ it depends on a lot of things. seems like it depends on
both the server, and the client.
netscape4, for example, seems to somehow default to having
server-side folders in your home directory. Which makes sense,
after all. (caviate: I tried this on a sun box. I haven't
tried it on soda.)
\_ "caveat" is third-person subjunctive, not second-person
imperative. The plural is "caveant" ("let them beware").
after all.
\_ I have mine in ~/mail, so they're easily accessible to pine,too. |
