How to manually create IMAP folders for a mailbox Manually creating an IMAP folder within a user mailbox directory is not recognized within the e-mail client.

Below are the steps necessary to create a new folder (Here we assume we want to create a folder by the name of "spam"):

• Create new folder: $\BOX\(username)\INBOX\Spam
• Create a new file and call it 'subscrib.imp.(username)'. So if the user account was john.doe, you need to create a file called 'subscrib.imp.john.doe. Place this file in the newly created folder: $\BOX\(username)\INBOX\Spam\. This file is 0KB, its presence is all that the IMAP server requires.
• Delete the fldsum.imp file, located at $\BOX\(username)\fldsum.imp (This file is called fldsum.json in newer versions of MailSite). This triggers the IMAP server to relist the folders.

Please note, that THERE IS NO WAY to make Outlook or Outlook Express automatically show the new folder. You will ALWAYS have to do a "reset folders" operation in order to see the new folder. MailSite Express will display the new IMAP folder(s) automatically, once you delete the fldsum.imp file.
