[imp] IMP and UW IMAP pre-prod questions

[Gary Smith]

It helps immensely.  As long as someone has confirmation that it works we will start testing it.  I think for the project that we are undertaking the horde / imp solution seems to have worked out well (with the exception of the uw-imap which is of course not under their control).
 
Thanks for all of the help.  I doubt that I'll need more in the future as this app seems to work well without any mod's (as compared to many other solutions we have testing :).

	Gary,
	
	If I understand your question right, UW IMAP won't do what you want.  It
	doesn't support folders that contain messages as well as subfolders.  I
	don't know if Courier IMAP does or not, but I know Cyrus IMAP does.  We
	are migrating our mail server from UW IMAP to Cyrus IMAP in a couple
	months.
	
	Here is a sample mail folder structure in Cyrus:
	
	INBOX
	INBOX.work
	INBOX.work.projects
	
	In Cyrus, there is a tree structure starting from INBOX.  All three of the
	above folders can contain messages.
	
	Hope this helps!
