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:
You and I had mailed about this about a year ago. Then I went out to ask IETF make it a standard. Now that it has become a standard I am back. :)
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
Yes, looks as if c) could cover all parts of the RFC.
