Re: [MlMt] How to set the IMAP Path Prefix? (Goal: flat folder structure)
Hi Bill,
Thanks for the reply. I gave it a try:

I quit MailMate, added that line to the Sources.plist, and when I re-opened
MailMate, there were only three folders: INVOX, Trash, and Drafts. At least
they were in a flat hierarchy. I tried playing with the options under “Edit
Subscriptions…” (“Ignore server subscription state …” and “Show private
namespace […]”) but it only seemed to make things worse.
I've reverted the Sources.plist setting, and now all my mail is downloading
again.
I'll just leave things as they are, since it makes me nervous to have to
redownload all mail again (about 120,000 messages).
Thanks again,
Quinn

Hello,
How do I set the IMAP Path Prefix in MailMate?
MailMate should figure out the prefix on its own, but you can set it
explicitly with the "Hidden Preference" namespaceResponse in
~Library/ApplicationSupport/MailMate/Sources.plist file. Documented on
the Hidden Preferences page of the help and in this bug report:
https://freron.lighthouseapp.com/projects/58672/tickets/267-imap-server-directory
The format of that setting requires an understanding of how IMAP works
with namespaces.
I'm connecting to a Courier IMAP server. In other email clients, I
have had to set the IMAP Path Prefix to `INBOX` for my folders to
display correctly.
This attribute added to the relevant source stanza in Sources.plist MAY
work for you:
namespaceResponse = '(("INBOX" "/")) NIL NIL';

[MlMt] How to set the IMAP Path Prefix? (Goal: flat folder structure)
Hello, How do I set the IMAP Path Prefix in MailMate? I'm connecting to a Courier IMAP server. In other email clients, I have had to set the IMAP Path Prefix to `INBOX` for my folders to display correctly. I want my folders to show like this: ``` Inbox Drafts Sent Spam Trash Read ``` Instead of indented below the INBOX like they are now: ``` INBOX Drafts Sent Spam Trash Read ``` If setting IMAP Path Prefix is not possible, is there another way to view my top-level folders as flat instead of hierarchical?
