This is speculation. If there isn't one today, don't worry about the problem today. [I note that you have given one real and current example, with INBOX in mbox format as /var/spool/mail/xxxx, with maildir for IMAP folders, but that doesn't require a complex IMAPdir definition.] > Since the backend is modular, why don't stop trying to enforce a > standard, and instead allow modules to be build for mbox, Maildir, > Maildir++, composite, or some totally new structure. wu-imap already does this. I can't speak for others, but I'm here to get way from the excess complexity (poor performance and number of bugs) of other available options. -- Charlie
