IMAP Default Folders

[Cirox]

Hi,

dont worry, i think i am a little bit stupid ;-)

Now i have this code:

}
  } else {
    exec("maildirmake -f Spam mail/Maildir");
  }

it wont work. So i dont understand it. If i start squirrelmail, the folders .drafts etc will be created, but my question is how knows maildirmake,if this, see code above, is the right folder to create the folder "Spam" ?

So i changed the code, like above, then i create a new user in ispconfig and nothing happens. No folder "Spam" for this new user.

I think the folder is the problem.

}
  } else {
    exec("maildirmake -f Spam /$user_username/Maildir");
  }

isnt right, too.

if i create it manually , its no problem:

maildirmake -f Spam /var/www/web9/Maildir/

greetings cirox

You can try to use the full path to maildirmake in the script (run

which maildirmake

to find out).

I think the folder is the problem.

} } else { exec("maildirmake -f Spam /$user_username/Maildir"); }

isnt right, too.

/$user_username/Maildir would translate to something like /web1_someuser/Maildir which cannot be correct.

if i create it manually , its no problem:

maildirmake -f Spam /var/www/web9/Maildir/

Then use the same path in your script (of course, use the correct variables for the web ID and the username).

sorry to revive this old thread but I found a plugin for squirrelmail that does exactly this. here is the description of the plugin:

This plugin automates creation of special folders and subscriptions.
It tries to provide options that are available only in some IMAP
servers. If your IMAP server provides similar tools, it is strongly
recommended to use IMAP server's tools instead of this plugin.

Hi Tenaka,
sorry to revive this old thread again, but I was trying to achieve the same thing and after installing the Squirrelmail package from the ISPConfig site, I noticed that you can set an option in the Squirrelmail config to "Auto Create Special Folders" without installing the plugin.

I used the config perl script:

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/squirrelmail/config/conf.pl

and "Set pre-defined settings for specific IMAP servers" to courier, then option 3 is "Folder Defaults", and option 16 is "Auto Create Special Folders".

Of course I guess this only works if you're using Squirrelmail.

Did you find another way?
