I'm using Exim for my MTA. I set up a trick to deliver directly to IMAP folders by using a "-" to separate the name from the folder.

user-folder@domain.com

This delivers to user@domain.com and puts it in the IMAP "folder" for that user. The folder has to already exists for this to work. It's very popular with my users too because it's like each folder has it's own email address.

I'd be interested to know how you configured Exim to do this? I use Exim with Maildrop as LDA.

Ciao, Gordon

Gordon, A lot of this is specific to my setup. But Exim is addaptable to any setup. You'll have to recode it for your configuration.
