Hi Dev-Team,
think I got a great idea how to improve RC.
I have a cyrus imap server with some mailboxes. RC works fine with it. The only thing I'm missing is the possibility to add an additional mailbox or mailbox folder of another user.
Using ACLs it is very simple to give different users different rights to one or more mailboxes (mailbox folders).
So, my idea is to add a feature which allows a logged in user in RC to add another mailbox folder via settings | folders. For example just typing in user.another-mailbox.folder in the input field which sets the new folders name.
I'm not very experienced with PHP's IMAP extension, but eventually it is possible to simply use the current logon credentials for authentication required by additional mailboxes.
We are using Ilohamail. :)
With this feature people could use "Shared folders" with RC just by asking their admin about the correct mailbox storage name (e.g. user.another-mailbox.*).
Would be a pleasure if you think about it.
Would be a pleasure if you submit a patch. ;)
I know that Robin spent a lot of time with folders lately, maybe he can comment?
