IMAP 43 (45) Folders

jabba | Oct 26 2005

I set up my 43 folders as IMAP folders on my Linux server. Actually, 45 folders - 1TODO is just regular Todos, that age and yell as they get older. "weekend" is stuff to take care of on the weekend.

Using some ideas I got from a post on the Google Group, I enhanced the script. I posted it at

http://jalcorn.net/weblog/pages/tickler2.html

Careful, some of it is very specific to my setup.
