Using an IMAP account with Mail.app revisited
Authored by: bluehz on Feb 17, '03 12:56:12PM

I am not completely sure I understand whats going on here. The path you are setting in IMAP is for the server location of files/dirs?

Just curious - I tried the ~/Mail and it failed miserably. I have a Linux box running Qmail/vpopmail for my LAN and with virtual domains the users actual mail dirs are located at /home/vpopmail/domains/xyz.com/usernam (for Linux install). So I would suspect I need use that path with this hint. Am I on teh right road here?

I am having the same issues.. for a while Mail.app found all my mailboxes (I run Qmail/Vpopmail/Courier IMAP with virtual domains as well). Now it cant find the mail boxes... I remember I got it working again.. but it was obvious.. anyone else solve this problem?

ok.. I FOUND how I fixed it.. you don't need to set the prefix... what you do is add a bogus account (can be imap or pop3) which bogus info.. then save and quit.. when you restart Mail , your mailboxes should appear
