The base IMAP specification allows for shared folders, and the IMAP4 Namespace1 capability enables clients to automatically discover private, shared and public folder-namespaces supported by the server.
This RFC says in example 5.4:
< A server that contains a Personal Namespace, Other Users' Namespace and multiple Shared Namespaces. Note that the hierarchy delimiter used within each namespace can be different. >
C: A001 NAMESPACE
S: * NAMESPACE (("" "/")) (("~" "/")) (("#shared/" "/")
("#public/" "/")("#ftp/" "/")("#news." "."))
S: A001 OK NAMESPACE command completed
So we can have an x number of Personal (==private) Namespaces, an y number of Other Users' Namespaces, and a z number of Shared Namespaces.
At this moment RoundCube only supports one private namespace.
That means that we have some decisions to make:
- Do we support >1 Other Users' and Shared Namespaces?
- Do we support Other and Shared if there's no namespace extension on
the server? 3. Or do we REQUIRE the namespace extension? Do any servers still exist that do not do RFC2342? 4. How do we show the different namespaces in the main mailbox list and in the settings display?
One related question, maybe someone has the answer, before I have to look through all the RFC's:
- If private namespace is called 'INBOX', is that always used as the
INBOX folder, or do setups exist that use 'INBOX{delimiter}INBOX' ?
