> Hierarchical folder layout for maildir
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAILBOX-200
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAILBOX-200
> Project: James Mailbox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: maildir
> Affects Versions: 0.6
> Environment: Windows 7 Professional 32bit
> Reporter: Robin Bankhead
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: mailbox-maildir-hierarchical-v3.patch
>
>
> Propose adding support in maildir for hierarchical on-disk layout of folders,
> as used by some other MTA/MUAs (Dovecot for example has optional support[1]).
> Secondary-, tertiary- etc level subfolders would be represented by an
> equivalent dir/subdir structure in the filesystem, so e.g.
> [maildir].Dir.SubDir
> would exist on-disk as
> [maildir]/.Dir/SubDir
> The motivation is simply to have on-disk layout more closely mirror that of
> the mailbox folder structure, though it has the additional fringe benefit of
> relieving the pressure imposed by subdirs-per-dir limits in some filesystems
> (though it would take a *very* large mail corpus to be affected by that, I
> admit).
> This simple proof-of-concept patch to MaildirStore.java enables the feature.
> If this is of interest, I would look to make it a configurable option in
> mailbox-maildir.properties (which I don't currently know how to do).
