would you consider adding support for "IMAP LIST Extension for Special-Use Mailboxes" http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6154.txt any time near in the future?
This has been requested before. I'm still just wondering what would be a good way to configure this. The possibilities are basically:
a) imap_specialuse = \Drafts Drafts \Sent "Sent Messages" ..etc..
b) imap_specialuse_drafts = Drafts imap_specialuse_sent = Sent Messages ..etc..
c) imap_specialuse = /etc/dovecot/specialuse.conf.ext and the file contains:
\Sent Sent Messages \Drafts Drafts ..etc..
I don't really like any of them. Maybe there's a d) that I haven't thought of yet.
The spec also supports the possibility of allowing clients to move the tags around, and of course it would be nice if Dovecot supported that too. Only c) makes it even theoretically possible by having imap_specialuse = ~/.dovecot.specialuse
