Hi,
this setting might work. The default namespace "inbox" is managing
INBOX and defines Special-Use folders on the same hierarchic level as
INBOX. There is an extra namespace "4archives" which defines Archive as
a mailbox on the same level as INBOX but stored on a different
location. Set mailbox attribute auto to your liking.
namespace inbox { type = private disabled = no hid
den = no list = yes ignore_on_failure = no inbox =
yes location = prefix = subscriptions = yes
separator = /
mailbox Drafts {
special_use = \Drafts
auto = subscribe
}
mailbox Junk {
special_use = \Junk
auto = subscribe
}
mailbox Spam {
special_use = \Junk
auto = no
}
mailbox spam {
special_use = \Junk
auto = no
}
mailbox Deleted {
special_use = \Trash
auto = subscribe
}
mailbox Trash {
special_use = \Trash
auto = no
}
mailbox Wastebasket {
special_use = \Trash
auto = no
}
mailbox Sent {
special_use = \Sent
auto = subscribe
}
mailbox "Sent Messages" {
special_use = \Sent
auto = no
}
mailbox "Sent Mail" {
special_use = \Sent
auto = no
}
mailbox "Tasks" {
# This mailbox has no official RFC 6154 or RFC 8457
Special-Use entry
auto = subscribe
}}
namespace 4archives {
type = private
disabled = no
hidden = no
list = yes
ignore_on_failure = no
inbox = no
location = mbox:/home/mail-
archive/%u/Archive/:CONTROL=/home/mail-
archive/%u/Archive/control:INDEX=/home/mail-
archive/%u/Archive/index:LAYOUT=maildir++
prefix =
subscriptions = yes
separator = /
mailbox Archive {
auto = create
autoexpunge = 0
autoexpunge_max_mails = 0
comment =
driver =
special_use = \Archive
}
mailbox Archives {
auto = no
autoexpunge = 0
autoexpunge_max_mails = 0
comment =
driver =
special_use = \Archive
}
mailbox "Archived Messages" {
auto = no
autoexpunge = 0
autoexpunge_max_mails = 0
comment =
driver =
special_use = \Archive
}
mailbox "Archived mail" {
auto = no
autoexpunge = 0
autoexpunge_max_mails = 0
comment =
driver =
special_use = \Archive
}
}
