--------------------------------------
Summary: Hierarchical folder layout for maildir
Key: MAILBOX-200
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAILBOX-200
Project: James Mailbox
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: maildir
Affects Versions: 0.6
Environment: Windows 7 Professional 32bit
Reporter: Robin Bankhead
Priority: Minor
Attachments: james-server-maildir-hierarchical-v1.patch
Propose adding support in maildir for hierarchical on-disk layout of folders,
as used by some other MTA/MUAs (Dovecot for example has optional support[1]).
Secondary-, tertiary- etc level subfolders would be represented by an
equivalent dir/subdir structure in the filesystem, so e.g.
[maildir].Dir.SubDir
would exist on-disk as
[maildir]/.Dir/SubDir
This simple proof-of-concept patch to MaildirStore.java enables the feature. If
this is of interest, I would look to make it a configurable option in
mailbox-maildir.properties (which I don't currently know how to do).
