dovecot - Aug 2005 - Namespace Feature

I've never used namespaces and don't quite know what they do. If I add a
namespace then do things like shared folders magically appear to users?

Also - I wonder if this is possible. I'd like to create a write only 
shared folder.

I know this is unusual but I have a reason. I'd like to have a folder 
that people can drag spam into to report missed spam. I want to write 
only so people aren't reading each other's spam. I have a bot that comes
by and reads this to train the bayesian filter. Right now I have to 
create these folders individually.

How about one "missed Spam" folder per User? That#s the way I do it.
The
problem with a single Spam folder is that you cannot recover mails from 
it which have been placed there errouneously, eg. by drag-dropping a 
bunch of mails to the wrong folder...

Additionally Bayesian FIlters are more effective if trained separately for 
each user, as eMails regarded as spam by one user may be actually 
requested by another, and vice versa.

A per-user filter will need (much) larger token databases, however...

Netscape ist unzumutbar. Von den ganzen Bugs will ich gar nicht 
sprechen. Kein Browser hat so eine schlechte PHP-Unterst?tzung wie 
Netscape. Im Explorer ist das wesentlich besser umgesetzt. Wundert mich, 
dabei ist PHP nicht mal von Microsoft.        -- Heise-Forum:

It depends on client. Some might. Most clients don't understand
namespaces at all though, so Dovecot also shows the namespaces as
regular folders (or I think it does :).

Not really. It'd require ACLs and those aren't implemented yet.
