[Gllug] Getting SquirrelMail and Dovecot to work properly together

[John Winters]

Nearly finished my server migration, and I've just one more puzzling 
problem.

I've gone with Dovecot as the IMAP server on the new box, with 
SquirrelMail providing webmail access as before.  Dovecot clearly makes 
a distinction between folders containing messages and folders containing 
other folders, and Thunderbird picks up on this distinction.  Folders 
which just contain other folders are displayed by Thunderbird in grey, 
with a little "+" sign next to them to expand them.

Squirrelmail on the other hand doesn't display these folders at all, 
which is a little irritating.  You get an indented list of every bottom 
level folder, but no means to telescope the list because the parent of 
each group is missing.

Anyone know how to change the configuration of either Dovecot or 
Squirrelmail so that they will work together?

(I've tried taking the "My server is Dovecot" in the Squirrelmail 
configuration, but that didn't seem to make any difference.)

TIA,
John
