XLIST, special-use mailboxes

[Anatoli]

Paul,

To add on top of what Bron said, xlist was removed in 2.5 but added as a 
(somewhat?) new implementation in 3.0, so you should install the newest 
version of Cyrus to take advantage of this feature.

In 3.0 xlist is part of autocreate functionality, i.e. an appropriate 
flag is set on each newly created folder once a new mailbox is created 
(AFAIK, it won't work on existing folders).

 > What about client-support?  Is it much used in clients?

 From my experience, it's rather well supported. Some clients from time 
to time (depending on the vendors, versions, locales, etc.) fail to 
apply these flags to some of the folders, but most of the time it's very 
useful.

Regards,
Anatoli

Hi Paul,

In newer versions the support is more accurately to spec, where you 
create with (USE \Foo) and then it's stored alongside that mailbox, even 
if it's renamed.  The old 2.4 version was just a hack for XLIST before 
the standards support was added.

Cheers,

Bron.
