Below are the setting names I thought about using:
a) mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=~/Maildir/.INBOX:INDEX=~/indexes:CONTROL=~/control :LAYOUT=fs:SUBSCRIPTIONS=courier-subscriptions
mail_format = maildir mail_root_path = ~/Maildir mail_inbox_path = ~/Maildir/.INBOX mail_index_path = ~/indexes mail_control_path = ~/control mail_directory_layout = fs mail_subscriptions_fname = courier-subscriptions
b) mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:ALT=/alt/%u:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=dbox-Mails:MAILBOXDIR=mailboxe s
mail_format = mdbox mail_root_path = ~/mdbox mail_alt_path = /alt/%u mail_dir_name = dbox-Mails mail_mailboxes_dir_name = mailboxes
Thoughts?
Personally, I like the current setting. For me, if the current setting is misunderstood sometimes, the proposed one with two overlapping settings for the same attribute, with values sometimes read from external BBDD sounds pretty error prone.
Maybe call mail_location "advanced setup" and the other ones "basic setup", and make them mutually exclusive (I mean something like: if mail_format is used only mail_* attributes are used, and if it's not only mail_location). Otherwise very strange problems may appear.
