| IMAP Folders
|
| VM's traditional mode of operation is to treat all remote mail sources
| as spool files, pulling all mail down from remote sources into local
| folders and deleting the remote copies. But sometimes it is more
| convenient to treat a remote mail source as a folder instead of a spool
| file, manipulating the remote source as if it were a folder instead of
| just a holding area for incoming messages.
|
| The command vm-visit-imap-folder allows you to visit a IMAP mailbox as
| if it were a folder. When you visit a IMAP folder, VM will download
| copies of the messages that it finds there for you to read. If you
| delete and expunge messages in the local copy of the folder, the
| corresponding messages on the IMAP server will be removed when you save
| the changes with vm-save-folder.
|
| Message attributes (new, replied, filed, etc.) are stored on the IMAP
| server and are also cached locally. Labels cannot be stored on the IMAP
| server but you can use them lcoally.
|
| In order for VM to know about IMAP servers that you can access, you must
| declare them by setting the variable vm-imap-server-list. The variable's
| value should be a list of the form:
|
| (IMAPDROP IMAPDROP ...)
|
| IMAPDROP is a IMAP maildrop specification in the same format used by
| vm-spool-files.
|
| For example:
|
| (setq vm-imap-server-list '(
| "imap-ssl:mail.foocorp.com:993:inbox:login:becky:*"
| "imap:crickle.lex.ky.us:143:inbox:login:becky:*" ) )
|
| The mailbox (`inbox' in the example) is ignored; when when
| vm-visit-imap-folder asks for a folder name you can enter any folder
| that is acessible to you on the IMAP server.
