Hi List,
I recently came across an issue with the way RC handles the folder (mailbox) list. It only draws it when the page itself is loaded. And while the list gets updated for changed number of unread mails / trash stuff, it never gets reloaded as a whole inbetween.
I would consider this an issue in case two clients (even two RCs) operate on the same mailbox, which is quite common for our users. In this case new folders created in another client do not show up in RC until the whole page is reloaded by selecting a task that reloads the UI. Right now it's even necessary to invalidate the cache if active. (But that should be an easy fix.)
I would like to see the folder list being refreshed whenever the list of mails itself is refreshed. Since getting the folder list from the server is not expensive and as far as I could see trivially patched into the refresh handling in RC, it comes down to changing the mailbox list display from HTML fragment to JSON/Javascript command.
As far as I saw nobody is or was working on this, so I would like to do it myself.
But bevor I start working on it I would appreciate any input on this idea.
Thanks
Tim
