[opensuse] evolution, imap, maildir and some odd files
I have just updated from SUSE 10.0 to openSUSE 11.1 on my desktop at work. I run procmail and an imap server there to deal with my e-mail in one consistent fashion. Any e-mail client I use talks to the imapd, and finds pre-sorted mail done by procmail. When I updated, I see that the new procmail and courier imapd worked just fine. I could access things just as before (e.g., via my imac at home). So far all is ok. After running for a weekend and seeing that things seemed ok, I then configured my new evolution to use this imapd (both running locally on the new 11.1 system). Accessing e-mail is still ok. However, it seems that evolution has done two things via the imapd: (1) it made an #evolution folder, and (2) in each existing folder has made a cmeta and an ibex folder. These now show up in all my e-mail clients that access the imapd. I gather that these are some indexing tools that evolution provides to aid indexing e-mail. My questions are: Why are they stored in the imapd directory? Shouldn't evolution keep its own files someplace private? If evolution made these and they are some internal files, why does evolution show them to me in the list of mail folders? I seem to have missed something here. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
No one have a clue? Should there even be these files in the Maildir folder? I am tempted to delete them (backup exists) and see what gives. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
