I have a mounted file system on /home/anton/Mail and the postfix/procmail makes use of the hierarchy of folders there.
Because my /home/USER/Mail structure (mbox) is accessed directly by the mail client (Alpine), not via imap. Mail is delivered there by procmail. It is an existing structure, years old, which I don't want to change.
Mail is delivered to the stuff under /home/anton/Mail by procmail in my setup as well, so I don't see what your problem is.
What I want is an alternative imap store for (at least) part of my email. In order to differentiate between the new, imap, structure, from the old one, I have to put each one on a different user. Remember that wu-imap is not configurable, or hardly so.
With another daemon I could perhaps have:
/home/USER/Mail /home/USER/Mail.imap
Yes. I have /home/anton/Mail/.IMAP/ /home/anton/Mail/.ARCHIVE/ /home/anton/Mail/.MORESTUFF/ corresponding to the various setups I have under Thunderbird.
as different, separate, structures. I would also need postfix not delivering to the new structure.
In my setup postfix never delivers. Ever. Everything it takes in it routes out to procmail. It is procmail that determines where stuff goes. Including the $DEFAULT I think, perhaps, that is a key point you are missing out on. If you really have problems, you could set $DEFAULT to where wu-imap expects the mailbox to be and use T'Bird's ability to address another namespace. I should note, however, I only have the one instance of postfix and the one config file. You could if you wanted to be esoteric, run second instance of postfix with another config file.
Thus, my solution with two users, which is very easy to setup. Already done, yesterday :-)
And two trips though postfix? Why not make procmail do the work? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
