Subject: IMAP Folder Problems

I'm having some problems getting my folders to work correctly.  
Apparently, I have only my INBOX on the mail server, and all of my 
folders are located in my Unix account space in the mail directory.
Is there a workaround to be able to access these folders?  As it
stands right now, I can only access them if I am using Unix Pine.

    This will probably become a Frequently Asked Question.

To keep from having to enter your login, specify your username in every
folder collection.  That is,
{themis.ag.gov.bc.ca}    will become...
{themis.ag.gov.bc.ca/user=bm71569}

After you do this, you will no longer need to enter your login for each
folder you access.

Note that this specification is incompatible with 3.91.  The point behind
this is to allow you to access different folders as different logins on
the same host, which was previously impossible.  So, if you were to share
folders with someone (as we have a common mailbox for radio mail here),
every user would be able to view the messages in these folders as
themselves, as well as seeing their own mail.

(Maybe 3.93 will have an option to let you specify that the same login is
to be used with the same hostname at all times?  Just a thought...)

Thanks.  Part of my problem was also that my "userid" config option
was set to "jroyer" and not my login "bm71569".  Once I changed this
and added "Reply-to" in my "customized-hdrs", I can change between
folders - logging in only once.
