Ugh. I'm pretty sure the standard way of doing it is the way I noted above. > How do you create a folder on the same level as Inbox with your model? > I'm sure this has been solved before, but even if it hasn't, some IMAP servers have the same "limitation". Keep in mind that the view doesn't have to be a 1-to-1 mapping of the model. > As far as I understand it the leading dot means it's an Inbox subfolder, > not only a folder itself.

Kinda nasty, I know. > I wouldn't suggest that. One option is to just special-case Outbox, Sent, and Drafts. Even though they would be ~/Maildir/.Outbox/, for example, you could treat it as though it were on the same level as ~/Maildir (aka Inbox). > If there will be any change in the folder layout for maildir, we should > keep some option for backward compatibility, but that's obvious. > Yep.
