Hi,
If you try to create mail box under the INBOX called "INBOX", Cyrus
fails the creation; though if you try and create a mail box called
"INBOX.Test", Cyrus creates the "INBOX" and "Test" folder underneath it.
spool/imap/c/user/cove# find INBOX -ls
2425031 4 drwx------ 3 cyrus mail 4096 Jun 19 13:36
INBOX
2425032 4 drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Jun 19 13:36
INBOX/Test
2425036 4 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 150 Jun 19 13:36
INBOX/Test/cyrus.header
2425034 4 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 76 Jun 19 13:36
INBOX/Test/cyrus.index
2425035 4 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 4 Jun 19 13:36
INBOX/Test/cyrus.cache
This confuses Apple Mail.app quite a bit, causing it to not display the
contents of the Inbox and I've sent them a bug note. I think what
happened to me was that I created a folder with Mozilla (older
version?) and it created it just like I described above -- not
realizing that the prefix was already INBOX(?). Who knows...
