Quoting "Valery V. Sedletski" <valer...@afterlogic.com>:
however what you used at migrate, some from your old clients may not
update their folder searchlist to/at new namespace, or have fixed prefix
setup etc, i didnt remember exactly but i think you can have both
namespace setups somehow for stay compatible with "old clients"
try search list and wiki
Yes, thanks -- I'll look into wiki...
But I tried to create a fresh account in Dovecot (not migrated from
Courier), and it
still shows a intermixed folder order:
a list "" *
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Pub"
a OK List completed.
Why does this matter? IMAP does NOT enforce any sort of required
sorting order, and no IMAP client can assume a sort order. So
enforcing a sort order on the server is just a waste of resources.
FWIW, this is completely legal IMAP output also (albeit inefficient):
a list "" *
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Pub"
a OK List completed.
