i am trying to setup imapd that come with redhat linux 7.2 and have been
unable to find any good documentation on how to do this. the man page just
explains what imapd is and the info page is that same.

what i am trying to do is have a machine pull my mail off of the imap
server at ncsu to my mail server with fetchmail. Then sort my mail with
procmail and then have imapd setup so that i can use evolution on my
laptop to check my e-mail. if possible i would like to make the imap setup
use ssl authenication.

i have gotten imapd to the point that i can check the contents of my
inbox, but i can't create any sub-folders. i'm not sure if this is a
configureation issue or a permissions issue. i can't find anything that
was installed with imad that might resemble a configuration file.

any help or suggestions that anyone can offer would be greatly
appreciated.
