Hi, Does Cyrus IMAP support the ability to have folders that may contain both messages and subfolders? The tdlp.org 'MS Outlook to Unix Mailbox Conversion' MINI-HOWTO suggests that no Linux IMAP server using the Mailbox format supports this feature. Does Cyrus IMAP use the Mailbox format and, if so, does it therefore NOT support folders containing both messages and subfolders?
By 'Mailbox format' they seem to mean 'mbox' format. When that format is used, a 'mail folder' is either a directory containing other folders or a file containing messages. Cyrus does not use mbox format, and its 'mail folders' can contain both messages and other folders.
