For everyone's information.
I could not find this info anywhere on the web, so I post it here in the
hope someone will add it to the cyrus imap documentation.
This has been tested with Outlook Express Ver 5 and Ver 6.
First of all, create the user folders.
Example for user jcd, the output from cyradm->lm would be: -
user.jcd
user.jcd.Drafts
user.jcd.Sent Items (This one might need to be created in Outlook
express, because "cyradm" does not like spaces.)
then...
In Microsoft Outlook Express, goto: -
Tools->Accounts
Select the mail server, then click "Properties"
Click on the IMAP tab.
Then fill in the boxes as follows: -
Folders
Root folder path: INBOX <- This is the IMPORTANT bit. The rest are
defaults.
Tick/Untick: Check for new messages in all folders
Special Folders
TICK: Store special folders on IMAP server
Sent Items path: Sent Items
Drafts path: Drafts
This should stop Outlook express storing sent items etc. all locally.
I hope this helps.
I only found this out by looking at sniffer traces.
Cheers
James
