Using an IMAP account with Mail.app revisited
~/Mail
Using an IMAP account with Mail.app revisited
Possibly because on .Mac accounts, Mail Folders aren't in ~/Mail. They are in ~. And the same may be true of other mail servcies out there as well.
Using an IMAP account with Mail.app revisited
It's not standard and would break anyone using a different IMAP server and even uw-imapd users with different server configurations. People using modern mail servers which use namespaces to provide the appropriate path don't need it, either.
Using an IMAP account with Mail.app revisited
Not necessarily. With my ISP I use '~/mail/', and this being on a Solaris machine, '~/Mail/' wouldn't work. As with OS X itself, this is a case-sensitive OS. It would be foolish on Apple's part to make assumptions on the path prefix.
Using an IMAP account with Mail.app revisited
As others said, it's not a standard. And I guess it's not even common for mail server to use "~/Mail" directory. None of my IMAP accounts uses "~/Mail" prefix. I once had an account that needed some prefix but it wasn't "~/Mail" either. |
