'Subscribe' to IMAP folders in Mail.app with a proxy

Apr 08, '04 10:42:00AM

Contributed by: Anonymous

The following Perl IMAP proxy allows one to select which IMAP folders Mail.app (or any other mail program) will see. This prevents Mail.app from syncing an entire hierarchy if only certain folders are of interest. You'll need to edit the code to point the proxy at your IMAP server. You'll also need to edit the list of folders in the code.

Use at your own risk.
