I just brought up UW IMAP4rev1 server on HP-UX 10.10 and was testing
both Communicator
and Outlook Express as IMAP clients. As far as how mail folders are
handled, I found Communicator
and Outlook are very different:
Communicator behave like a file browser. All your file directories are
shown as file folder, whether that
directory contains mails or not. This is very annoying. How can I ask
Communicator to show only
real mail folders?

On the other hand, Outlook express does not show any mail folders in
your home directory. You can
create new folder and new directory will be created on the server. But,
how can I tell Outlook to show
my already existed, current mail folders?

Thanks,

John Wei
