Debian is a really good distribution - I use it almost exclusively since 8 years, but its developers often modify upstream configurations and/or code too much; the exim (configuration done by a gazillions of others Debian-specific files) and more recently openssl (entropy broken) examples come to my mind. Back to Cyrus-imapd, I tried to use the Debian version, but after considering the Debian-specifics docs and scripts, I ended up compiling my own version, and use a really simple configuration, provided by the sources. > If you really want unixhierarchysep then you may try to activate it > after you have everything up and runnning and the configs in a safe > place. But I don't think there is a very good reason to do so. Well, I always found the '.' separator confusing for e-mail, but this is probably because I used uw-imap a lot before. IMHO, using the '/' hierarchy separator is easier for me, because I immediatly know that it is 'talking' about sub/folder. '.' is used for many other things, such as file extensions for example... -- Nicolas ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
