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?
The INBOX should point to the same location with both namespaces, so it doesn't matter which one has inbox=yes.
Would everything suddenly become "flat" on them and cause confusion? Ala:
INBOX Sent Drafts
Isn't this how it already is if the INBOX. prefix is set? I thought mailboxes are shown under INBOX only if there was no prefix.
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?
I'm not really an TB expert..
