If you know the possible directory trees beforehand then just create them.
Actually a user is not allowed to login on the imap server to
create folders. It is already pretty painful to mount all the
users' home directories just to give procmail acess to the
.procmailrc files.
If you are using IMAP, you should be using Maildir folders. These do not
require lock files and the folders are created properly by the IMAP server when
you write to a .folder/
All I am asking for is some code in procmail to create
missing nested maildirs before the lockfile is created.
If you MEAN maildirs, then this happens automatically. If you mean folders for
mail that contain mbox files, then you have to jump through hoops to create
sub-folders.
AFAICS the current procmail can create flat maildirs, but
this seems to be broken for using lockfiles.
Maildirs do not need lockfiles.
