Yeah, it really needs to be, doesn't it. I think I'll use one of the "spare" fields in the index header as "XLIST_FOLDER" or something. Make it an enum type, and make it settable as an annotation (I'm separately working on implementing the METADATA RFC rather than the SETANNOTATION early draft that Cyrus currently supports) > If mail clients would support DNS SRV we could get to am almost > zero-config scenario [like XMPP clients].

But zeroconfig sure would be nice. What about ACAP again? ;) Bron.
