Hi,
I am wondering if someone can help me here...
My setup:
Kobo Libra Colour (most recent firmware)
https://github.com/bjw-s-labs/KoboMail
When i look at the config file for KoboMail one can see this:
Code:
    # email account
   imap_user = "user@domain.tld"
    # for gmail you should use the following instructions
    # gmail app password. you will need to generate a password specifically for KoboMail
    # this can be done here: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en-GB
    # other email services please review their configuration options
    imap_pwd = "password"

    # IMAP folder to process
    imap_folder = "INBOX"

    # there's two methods KoboMail can identify emails destined to be imported into you're Kobo device:
    #  - plus:      where the email server allows sending emails to user+flag@server.com (like gmail)
    #email_flag_type = "plus"
    #email_flag = "kobo"

    #  - subject:   where KoboMail will search for emails with a subject like [flag] or $flag$ .
    #               We recommend using something unique so there's no false positives, for example
    #               if you just put Kobo you might be allowing KoboMail to detect regular emails from Rakuten Kobo
    email_flag_type = "subject"
    email_flag = "[MyKobo]"
[bold green text above]
How do i specify a subfolder?
in my setup, any mail addressed to localpart+flag@.... will be put in INBOX.flag
eg. a mail sent to user+kobo@... will be saved in INBOX.kobo
but, no matter wich format i use for the imap_folder (INBOX.kobo; INBOX\kobo; INBOX/kobo; .INBOX.kobo.; etc.) - Kobomail ony checks INBOX as folder (according to the logfile Kobomail provides)

any idea would be apreciated!
thx
