Courier-IMAP is a server that provides IMAP access to Maildir mailboxes. |
| 2 |
This IMAP server does NOT handle traditional mailbox files |
| 3 |
(/var/spool/mail, and derivatives), it was written for the specific |
| 4 |
purpose of providing IMAP access to Maildirs. |

|
| 6 |
Courier-IMAP implements some extensions to the basic Maildir mail |
| 7 |
storage format in order to support some additional features, such as |
| 8 |
folders and "soft" quotas. This is done in a way that's backwards |
| 9 |
compatible with the standard Maildir users (although, of course, they |
| 10 |
will ignore the additional features). Other software that understands |
| 11 |
and uses the same Maildir extensions is SqWebMail, and maildrop. |
