Re: [bug-mailutils] Configuring debug in imap4d.rc

[Chris Hall]

Hi, Sergey,

I found how to get debug messages sent to syslog.  The problem seems to
be that if one changes the 'homedir', imap4d cannot find mailboxes:
mu_mailbox_open tried to open directory instead of file.  Also, there
seems to be no way to specify what a name is, i.e., in Dovecot you say
'files called mBoX-mEsSaGeS are mbox files'.  I don't care really, but I
*would* like to know what file name imap4d expects.  Is it 'mbox'?
