thank you for the idea.

I'll give it a try (there was another variable needed to be set to avoid
clashes with "new", but the name escapes me atm), although it doesn't
cover a number of special cases that I have, where the location of the
mailboxen does not follow this pattern.

In the end, I want the database to be the single source of truth.


Thanks,
Toni
