Originally I was planning on allowing all kinds of mail settings inside namespace {}, including imapc_* settings. But that's a bit difficult to implement (although I think it will happen some day). So for now I was thinking:
imapc foo { host = imap.foo.com master_user = foomaster password = foopass }
imapc bar { host = imap.bar.com ... }
namespace { prefix = foo/ location = imapc:foo } namespace { prefix = bar/ location = imapc:bar }
So basically if the path after imapc isn't absolute (/path or ~/path), then treat the path as the imapc section name and use its settings.
Anyone have any improvement suggestions? I was planning on adding this to v2.2.3. I'm not sure if the section names should be "imapc" or something else (e.g. imap_remote {}).
What ever happened with this? Doesn't look like it was committed. This looks like a cool idea. I was just thinking about pulling multiple external IMAP accounts under a single dovecot account and I ran into this.
I didn't need it after all for the project where it first seemed to be necessary. Attached the code that I wrote so far, which I think allows you to configure such imapc {} blocks, but there's no code to actually use them.
