[Dovecot] LIST namespace problems

14 Jan 2006


      Talking of which, one of my patches is for what I think are minor bugs
with LIST and namespaces:

LIST "<namespace>" "" should return the delimeter and root name
(returns delimeter and ""), I think because namespace_find modifies the
"ref" argument
LIST "" "<namespace>" probably should return
LIST (\Noselect) "<delim>" "<namespace>" (this keeps Pine and possibly
other clients happy, otherwise they try to "create" the directory)

i.e. for "/" delimeter and "~/mail/" prefix I'd want
. LIST "" "~/mail/"

LIST (\Noselect) "/" "~/mail/"
. LIST "~/mail/" ""
LIST (\Noselect) "/" "~/"

I can supply the patches but the first is trivial and the second one is
very ugly!

I also needed to rewrite half my internal patches :) but that shouldn't
have made any difference (they certainly don't involve those files).
