Mailbox URI format in Event Notifications

[Sébastien Michel]

We didn't faced this issue because we aren't using Other and Shared
namespaces :(

> For those of you using event notifications, I'm wondering how you make other software interpret these things -- our "other"software looks at everything from the administrative  perspective, and so we'd opt for a format of imap://imap.example.org/user/jane@example.org -- but I'm suspecting this may have implications I'm unaware of.

Not sure that 'imap://imap.example.org/user/jane@example.org' is right
because the format defined in the RFC 5092 - IMAP URL :

>             imap://<iserver>/<enc-mailbox>[<uidvalidity>]<iuid>[<isection>][<ipartial>][<iurlauth>]
>
>             The <iserver> component common to all types of absolute IMAP URLs has
>                             the following syntax expressed in ABNF [ABNF]: [iuserinfo "@"] host [ ":" port ]

If user john is doing something to a user jane mailbox, the
notification should contain the user john in the field "user" and the
URI imap://jane@imap.example.org/INBOX in the fields "uri" and
"mailboxID". This is how I understand the RFC 5423.


I'm very glad that Event Notification feature is useful outside of our
organization
