Cone mail client discussion

Hi,

does 'cone' support the maildir format?
When yes, how?

I want to get/save some emails offline. Therefore I use 'offlineimap'. After  
the download, the messages are saved in a directory structure like follow:

   /mnt/imap/INBOX
   /mnt/imap/INBOX.Sent Items
   /mnt/imap/INBOX.Archives
   ...

But when I create a new mailbox (Other), I can not get the email list, only  
a folder list.

If 'cone' does not support the format, it is anyway possible to get some  
message for offline reading?

Holger

Automatically.

This is not the standard format for maildir folders. Maildirs originally did  
not have any concept of folders. The first mail application that implemented  
maildir folders was Courier-IMAP, and Cone uses the same maildir format as  
Courier-IMAP does.

Specifying a proper maildir will set it up automatically, as well as all the  
folders that it contains.
