For those of you using event notifications, I'm wondering how you make
other software interpret these things -- our "other"software looks at
everything from the administrative perspective, and so we'd opt for a
format of imap://imap.example.org/user/j...@example.org -- but I'm
suspecting this may have implications I'm unaware of.
Not sure that 'imap://imap.example.org/user/j...@example.org' is right
because the format defined in the RFC 5092 - IMAP URL :
imap://<iserver>/<enc-mailbox>[<uidvalidity>]<iuid>[<isection>][<ipartial>][<iurlauth>]
The <iserver> component common to all types of absolute
IMAP URLs has
the following syntax expressed in ABNF
[ABNF]: [iuserinfo "@"] host [ ":" port ]
If I understand this correctly, the uri here then is defined to have to
be a uri that a client could interpret and follow and end up OK with?
This makes me wonder why it would be the mailbox owner being in the spot
of <iuserinfo>, because imap://j...@imap.example.org/Other Users/jane
will not likely be understood correctly by clients -- as "jane", "Other
Users/jane" will not exist. As not jane, the notification is not
necessarily invalid nor irrelevant.
Neither would, I suppose, imap://j...@imap.example.org/INBOX make all
that much sense -- not unless a client is taught to understand "jane@'s
INBOX is Other Users/jane".
The jane@ part should go away or be substituted for the actual user that
had the perspective of Jane's INBOX being at "Other Users/jane" when
triggering the event notification.
If user john is doing something to a user jane mailbox, the
notification should contain the user john in the field "user" and the
URI imap://j...@imap.example.org/INBOX in the fields "uri" and
"mailboxID". This is how I understand the RFC 5423.
Many of the event notifications have turned out to not contain the
"user" triggering the event at all, and I suppose I'll need to
double-check if it is in fact the authenticated user id being used, or
the mailbox owner.
