Mac OS X Mail in v10.3.1 update



So, switching Cyrus IMAP to the UNIX Hierarchy Separator improves things quite a bit. (add "unixhierarchysep: yes" to imapd.conf)

Now I can create folders locally and the list updates properly. I also discovered the "Use Folder For" option in the menu, although I did end up editing Mail's .plist before I realized that fact.

Creating folders at the top level still requires an "INBOX/foldername", but any others can be done just by selecting the subfolder before choosing "new".

This will also require updating your SquirrelMail config. I changed the special folders to "INBOX/Sent", etc. There is one other thing--in the config.php file that gets built, you will need to change the "optional_delimiter" to "/". There's no option for that in the perl script, except by choosing one of the pre-configured setups.

Once that's done, everything works just fine. Now, I need to eat some dinner before I start fully documenting all of this!
