Hi list,
I don't know the function of imap_root parameter. What does it do? How to config it with qmail, vpopmail installation? Explain me please.
Many Thanks

imap_root is asking you what your Imap server uses as the root of your mailbox. Some servers use INBOX and some like Dovecot don't use one. (Sorry I don't know what qmail uses.)
For dovecot I have: $rcmail_config['imap_root'] = ''; $rcmail_config['imap_delimiter'] = '.';
The 'imap_delimiter' is the delimiter for sub folders.
If you don't know, telnet in and see what it uses.
telnet mail.example.com 143

Dovecot by default doesn't use one, but it has a configuration
parameter to set it.
I have in my /etc/dovecot.conf file :
mail_location = mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
I have it set this way so when a user shells into our mail server and
uses pine / alpine, the mailboxes are in the place that text-based
MUA expects. Configured this way, RoundCube can use its default :
$rcmail_config['imap_root'] = '';
Another advantage to configuring Dovecot this way makes it miss all
the normal garbage in a user's home directory
( .bashrc, .bash_profile, etc. ), since all e-mail is in its own tidy
directory.
