Good afternoon,
I am running Horde 4 and IMP 5.
Right now, our users must subscribe to their subfolders
before they will see them.
I wonder if this is necessary. I see this in the user FAQ on the wiki:
http://wiki.horde.org/FAQ/User/IMP?referrer=FAQ%2FUser#toc9
I would like to achieve the scenario described in the second paragraph:
"If your site's IMP configuration allows you to use multiple folders
but does not require you to subscribe to the ones you wish to access,
you will always see all of your folders in IMP's folder lists."
I searched for where to do this and do not see a clear answer. But I
have a guess.
In imp/config/prefs.php I see:
$_prefs['subscribe'] = array(
'value' => 1,
'type' => 'checkbox',
'desc' => _("Use IMAP folder subscriptions?")
);
Should I try another value in there such as 0, would it cause IMAP
folders to be not allowed at all, or would it simply remove the need
to subscribe?
A false value for subscribe causes IMP to completely ignore IMAP
subscription status on the server.
Would this be picked up if I made a prefs.local.php containing:
$_prefs['subscribe'] = array(
'value' => 0,
'type' => 'checkbox',
'desc' => _("Use IMAP folder subscriptions?")
);
You probably want this instead:
$_prefs['subscribe']['value'] = 0;
$_prefs['subscribe']['locked'] = true;
This prevents users from changing the value. And you should set only
individual properties of the array, rather than overwriting the array, since
this method will ensure that any changes made to the prefs.php file in the
future OTHER than the values you have overwritten will be used.
This is working well. I have another related question.
For my test user I found the Preferences for Folder Display had a
check for "use IMAP folder subscriptions". I don't remember if I had
set that, but the default might have been this is checked. Is there a
way to make it unchecked for all users so that the other settings are
causing all subfolders to display?
If a user has already set a preference value, you will need to
manually remove these entries from the preference backend. These
entries take precedence over the default entries in the prefs.php
file, even if the entry is locked.
