So, I'm running a small email server. On this server, I have installed and run postfix with courier-imap. It works great, but I need to expand it's folder options for better record keeping. Whenever I try to make a new folder, I just get subdirectories of INBOX.

I found this article, but it was no help:
http://www.courier-mta.org/FAQ.html#namespace

I understand that INBOX can't be changed. I want to make another directory on the same level as INBOX, not as a subdirectory. From what I gather from the FAQ, courier says that it's not courier's fault! is it possible to make another root level directory?

I tried moving to dovecot, but that had it's own host of issues.

Thanks,
P
