Hi everyone,
I would like to move the "Archives" Folder for every user from my default
storage to another storage in the backend, while maintaining the current
frontend view of the IMAP Mailboxstructure.
Because I didn't manage to get it to work properly on my production server, I
made a separate Testserver.
My problem is, that I don't know what to put in the "prefix" section of the
Namespace, so that the Archive Folder is on the same folder/mailbox hierarchy
level as the ones in the default namespace (Sent Messages, Drafts ...).
I have read the Namespace RFC (rfc2342) and there is one example which uses the
Tilde ~ Character as the Namespace prefix - put the rfc doesn't address the
tilde, it only has it in one of the examples (Example 5.4).
Because ~ often means 'base folder' I thought this would work. But it doesn't.
The Thunderbird client shows:
Rootdir/Sent
but
Rootdir/~/Archive
I am aware I can solve this with symlinks, but I would like to do it properly
with namespaces.
Could you please tell me what I am missing?
In case this is an Thunderbird Issue, could you please point out, what I don't
understand?
Thank you!
Kind Regards
Christian
