I am delighted to announce that the Mbox to Maildir conversion was completed successfully by our techs in the early hours of this morning.For those that are interested, here is a little more information about Maildir:Maildir is a widely used format for storing e-mail that does not require application-level file locking to maintain message integrity as messages are added, moved and deleted. Unlike the previous Mbox format which stores emails in one large single file, Maildir stores each message in a separate file with a unique name. This format will be less resource intensive and prevent issues such as locked in-boxes and duplicate messages from failed downloads.
Re-subscribing your Email FoldersDue to the conversion of mail folders, anyone using an IMAP client or webmail application (i.e. SquirrelMail or Horde) will need to re-subscribe to their folders before those folders will become visible. Note that the mail within these folders has not been lost - the folders simply are not immediately visible because of the conversion process, which begins the folder name with a dot.
Some new directories in the /mail/ folder of your root FTP have been added.
These must not be removed under any circumstances.This is a one time operation and should be done for EACH email account. Folders created from now on will be automatically named in the new, correct format.How-to for SquirrelMail Users:1. Log into Squirrel Mail and select ‘Folders’ from the top menu
2. Scroll down to a section entitled ‘Unsubscribe/Subscribe’, where you should see your email folders listed
3. Click on one folder at a time and click the ‘Subscribe’ button
4. Repeat this process until you have subscribed to as many folders as you wish to
5. Finish by clicking on ‘Refresh folder list’ or ‘Check for new mail’ (upper left navigation). Your folders should then appear in the folders list on the left hand side and the mail within those folders will become available for viewing and other operations
