I've created INBOX.a.b, INBOX.a.c, and others. To my suprise, there is no
INBOX.a folder. This was discussed previously on this list (2/28/06, similar
to this messages subject), and is Cyrus's expected behavior.
I've now decided I want a folder INBOX.a, that is something I can move
messages into.
Is it safe to create such a folder, or will it cause problems, for example
wiping out the current folders under INBOX.a?
Yes, it's safe. The directory is there, it's just not a mailbox. The
easiest way to fix this is to create it as a mailbox. So, reproducing
your steps, it would look like this:
localhost> cm user.ross.a.b
localhost> cm user.ross.a.c
localhost> cm user.ross.a.d
localhost> cm user.ross.a
This is actually one of the steps I had to do when migrating from an
mbox-based system, as none of the migration tools had an option to turn
parent folders into mailboxes.
