Maildir or mbox??
Hi,

I was wondering if someone can tell me what the difference is exactly between maildir and mbox.

We have a few solaris 9 systems here and would like to get an imap server running on them. I have setup fetchmail so that it retrives remote pop3 mail into an account, and that mail is then visible in the CDE mailer..

What would be the best way to make this fetched mail available through an imap?

Ive seen several imap servers but they say they use the maildir format only..

Thanks

See man page for maildir at qmail.org - it explains the difference between maildir and mbox files.
