No. Maybe a more understandable example would have been ~/Maildir/ and
~/Maildir/.bar/. If MDA only gets that one path (so it doesn't know
the "maildir root dir"), it uses a simple rule to figure out where to
update maildirsize file: Do I have maildirfolder file? If so, use
parent dir. If not, use current dir.
You mean the only reason to use a flat layout (hierarchy emulation like .folder.subfolder.subsubfolder) is to know where to update the file which store the Maildir size ?
Sounds strange : why not calculate Maildir size ? And regarding quotas : can I have a quota on some folder and a quota on some of its subfolder(s) ? If yes, wouldn't that change the problem ?
