Re: XLIST, special-use mailboxes

Paul,

To add on top of what Bron said, xlist was removed in 2.5 but added as a (somewhat?) new implementation in 3.0, so you should install the newest version of Cyrus to take advantage of this feature.

In 3.0 xlist is part of autocreate functionality, i.e. an appropriate flag is set on each newly created folder once a new mailbox is created (AFAIK, it won't work on existing folders).

From my experience, it's rather well supported. Some clients from time to time (depending on the vendors, versions, locales, etc.) fail to apply these flags to some of the folders, but most of the time it's very useful.

Hi Paul,

In newer versions the support is more accurately to spec, where you create with (USE \Foo) and then it's stored alongside that mailbox, even if it's renamed.  The old 2.4 version was just a hack for XLIST before the standards support was added.

Cheers,

Bron.

Hello,

Does Cyrus IMAP support RFC 6154 about special-use mailboxes?

I read that it only wass supported in Cyrus version 2.4 ?
I am using version 2.5.10 (from Debian 9).

Can I put this in imapd.conf for all users?
xlist-archive: Archives
xlist-drafts: Drafts
xlist-sent: Sent
xlist-spam: Spam
xlist-trash: Trash

Is it only used on new created folders or always?

Do I need "specialusealways: 1" or something like that?

What about client-support?  Is it much used in clients?

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis
