Courier-IMAP is a server that provides IMAP access to Maildir mailboxes.
|
|
|
|
|
This IMAP server does NOT handle traditional mailbox files
|
|
|
|
|
(/var/spool/mail, and derivatives), it was written for the specific
|
|
|
|
|
purpose of providing IMAP access to Maildirs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Courier-IMAP implements some extensions to the basic Maildir mail
|
|
|
|
|
storage format in order to support some additional features, such as
|
|
|
|
|
folders and "soft" quotas. This is done in a way that's backwards
|
|
|
|
|
compatible with the standard Maildir users (although, of course, they
|
|
|
|
|
will ignore the additional features). Other software that understands
|
|
|
|
|
and uses the same Maildir extensions is SqWebMail, and maildrop.
