duplicate mail on /home/mail ?

[Radio_Head]

Hello

I noticed that on

/home/user/mail

for each email account there is a folder , for example

/home/user/mail/user1
/home/user/mail/user2
/home/user/mail/user3

and each folder contains inbox and inbox.pop files .

Then there is also a folder called
/home/user/mail/userdomain.com

which contains again...

/home/user/mail/domain.com/user1
/home/user/mail/domain.com/user2
/home/user/mail/domain.com/user3


and again each folder contains inbox files ..

Why these duplicates inbox files ??

they are hard links. 1 for POP and 1 for IMAP I believe

I think you are right , thank you.

/home/user/mail/user1 should be for POP
while
/home/user/mail/userdomain.com/user1 should be for IMAP

(however they don't seem symlinks)
