But I don't think there are any problems if you make INBOX. namespace the hidden one. Most clients don't care about namespaces.
Hi Timo, thanks for the reply - I understand what you're saying. Can you theorize what will happen to the already configured/subscribed users (Thunderbird) whose tree looks like:
INBOX |_ Sent |_ Drafts
...when I would change the default namespace around and make the empty prefix inbox=yes? Would everything suddenly become "flat" on them and cause confusion? Ala:
INBOX Sent Drafts
Most Thunderbird instances already configured say "INBOX." under the setting of '(IMAP Account) -> Server Settings -> Advanced -> Personal Namespace'; I think this value is filled in automatically by Thunderbird the first time you configure the account and it queries the server and received the namespace advertisement.
Would it be correct to assume that all these existing users would be fine (because of the hidden INBOX prefix namespace, compatibility mode), and only new users would see a flat hierarchy when setting up Thunderbird?
Many thanks, -te
