dovecot - Nov 2010 - Know when a Folder is Expunged or Deleted

Hi Timo and Everyone....


There is a way to know when a folder it's been deleted ? And if this folder
is empty ?

Let's explain why...

I intercept the expunge function, to treat my files expunged, but when i
expunge a folder, this function it's not called, and my emails don't get
my
treatment to be expunged.

Basically i need to do something like this:

It's empty ? No --> return OK but Dont Delete folder, because it's
not
empty.
                  Yes --> Return OK and Delete the Folder to be expunged.

Tks !

Yeah.. Maybe some day I should change the mailbox deletion to work by
sending expunge to all mails and then simply removing the empty mailbox.
This is how it works with multi-dbox, but not with others.

So you want to disallow deleting non-empty folders? Anyway, you need to
hook into struct mailbox.delete. See quota_mailbox_delete() in quota
plugin. box->opened=TRUE if it was a real selectable mailbox, while it's
FALSE if it was simply a directory (Maildir++ has only selectable
mailboxes).
