What for and what is this Mail managment-Root folder place of
setting TB IMAP account ?
From my experience on using such terms, it's the folder you want to
set as the parent. You can leave this blank.
The matter is that IMAP server (i'm working with) itself have INBOX
folder and don't let to create on the SAME level, just subfolders...
Sounds like courier :)
So i can't understan HOW TB will use that setting ?
Depends how you have your server setup. Taking for example shared
folders, which are usually put inline (on courier) with the INBOX.
This would mean your folder tree would look like:
INBOX
Sent
Outbox
Drafts
Bob
#Shared
Notices
If you set the Root folder to be INBOX, then the #Shared tree wouldn't
appear. This is because in the LIST search that is performed, it
specifies a start statement. For example:
Before Root folder option:
LIST *
After Root folder set to INBOX
LIST INBOX *
This is useful on uw-imap because uw-imap loves to be a pain in the
butt, and read every file in the users $HOME directory. To save this
occuring, it is suggested you set it to a folder, to store all mail in
a folder in a folder, forcing UW to read ONLY in the folder. For
example, setting root folder to mail/. Your $HOME directory on the
server would then contain a folder mail/ and in there would be your
folders (well except INBOX for uw-imap). The list statement then
becomes:
LIST mail/ *
This makes the IMAP server scan ONLY mail/. Saves some work on the
server, but not really applicable to courier-imap.
