Re: Something is moving my saved mail

My home server, running etch has a mail server that is based

What is really strange however is that about monthly mail is
moved from this .Sent directory and copied into some maildir
formated directories called .Sent.yyyy.MM-mmm (where yyyy is
the four digit year, MM the two digit month and the mmm is the
three letter abbreviation for month). This makes the sent mail
appear in an imap world to sit in yearly directories and then
monthly directories in a tree below Sent mail.

I have searched all the cron scripts I could find to see how
this mail gets moved.

My wife and I both use pop3 access to retrieve our inbox. I use
imap to access the imap account buy my wife doesn't.

I also use sqwebmail a lot, my wife not at all. my children
have only occassionally used e-mail from home - other than some
access from sqwebmail.

But I am the only one with a regular copying of this mail. The
rest of my family have only sporadic mail entries. of archived
mail.

It is almost as though using something like sqwebmail causes
the e-mail to get archived, but it might be accessing the mail
through my courierimap server that does it.

Can someone put out my misery and tell me how it is done

Maybe you have one of the packages listed here?

$ apt-cache search mail archive | sort
