maildir question
Hi,
I had a server hosting my website which kept all of my mail in a folder of my home dir called "mail". In that folder was "cur", "new", "tmp"... Which as I understand is the maildir format.
I just recently switched to a new server, and am attempting to transfer all my mail over, however, on the new server-- there is a "Maildir" folder..
So question #1 is, why does one server call it "mail", and another "Maildir".. Where is it defined that mail goes to these folders, and does it matter what the name of the folder is?
Regardless-- I have copied over the contents of "mail" to the "maildir" folder, but I looked in my "new" folder, and find:
tons of files such as:
1160512586.H576706P3408.server4825.handsonwebhosting.com
handsonwebhosting was my previous host, so I am curious, will it be a problem for this file to be in my new webhost's maildir since it says .handsonwebhosting? or will it be readable and work fine???
I am a little lost about this stuff... Thank you in advance.
