A correction: I *can* freely mix mail and folders (putting a folder in a folder that had messages, putting a message in a folder containing folders, etc). Previously I recall my mail client (Evolution) refusing to allow one or the other, but it *is* allowing it *now*. Of course, my mail server (Dovecot) isn't actually working that way. It stores all the folders within its root folder, and just generates an index to make things work with your mail client the way you want them organised. But that may just be how Dovecot wants to do things. Anyway, it doesn't really matter how it works behind the scenes, if it lets you do what you want to do with your mail client. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 25 17:23:54 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
