My initial email for this request was tied into DSPAM but it could be expanded for anything really. How about a folder called "STATS", everytime you access the folder, it contains your quota info on that account ? How about dynamic LDAP distribution lists - You drop a draft msg into a folder and it pipes it into a script that scans a LDAP directory and looks for all users in a certain cost center and emails the msg to them. The end users simply drag and drop. Generally, people tend to clutch software that improves workflow especially when they dont have to learn a new piece of software. Most people know how to use Netscape and Outlook. I'm really looking at this from an enterprise company aspect to improve work flow. Hmm, I wonder if an entire list system could be based on these folder triggers ?? It would certainly change the way people manage lists. They only ever have to know how their imap client works. This could be a great way to manage private, moderated mailinglists for software such as Mailman or EZMLM. The list software would only send it out to the distribution list if it enters thru BINC - which requres the user to authenticate via TLS/SSL. I'll have to think a little more on this one. The possibilities are endless. Thanks for adding the "folder trigger" idea to your TODO, hope it makes it for 1.3. /RS -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Roger Sistla rsistla at rogers dot com ----------------------------------------------------------------------
