[chandler-users] IMAP Folders

[Brian Kirsch]

Hi Poojan,
The Chandler folder creation logic was modeled to be very flexible at  
the architecture layer. However,
we do not yet have UI to take advantage of the ability to name /  
rename the Chandler Folders.

If you are feeling adventurous you can ping me (bkirsch) on our IRC  
#chandler channel and I
  can show you via export and import of your account settings how to  
change the names.

This would involve first renaming or creating alternate Chandler  
folders on your IMAP server then telling
Chandler which folders you would like to use instead of the default.

Regarding your concerns about wanting to move the IMAP folders up to  
the same level as the INBOX,
this is possible as long as your IMAP server supports foldering at  
this level.

For example, OSAF's IMAP Server only allows folder creation under the  
INBOX.


Thanks,
Brian
