13. Presets

This chapter lists SquirrelMail options set by D option in SquirrelMail configuration utility.

• dovecot = Dovecot Secure IMAP server
• exchange = Microsoft Exchange IMAP server
• hmailserver = hMailServer
• macosx = Mac OS X Mailserver
• mercury32 = Mercury/32
• uw = University of Washington's IMAP server

• draft_folder = INBOX.Drafts
• show_prefix_option = false
• default_sub_of_inbox = true
• show_contain_subfolders_option = false
• optional_delimiter = detect
• delete_folder = false
