Subject: Is INBOX special in a Maildir?
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 19:09:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87io5920bp.fsf@free.fr> (raw)
I'm using OfflineIMAP to sync a remote IMAP account to a local Maildir,
and dovecot to access it from Gnus using a nnimap method, like many
do. The Maildir uses the fs layout (/ for separators) and has folders like:
INBOX
INBOX/cur
INBOX/new
INBOX/tmp
General
General/cur
General/new
General/tmp
but also like:
cur
new
tmp
The General folder can be accessed but Gnus always report no messages in
the group it calls INBOX, even though the folder named INBOX contains
some messages
I suspect it has to do with Gnus being confused about what INBOX really
is: either the root of the Maildir, or the folder actually named
INBOX. Do I need to change something in my offlineimap setup, or in
Gnus' ?
Julien.
