dovecot - Feb 2016 - Per-user special folder?

Hi

It's possible to mark some folders as special use for IMAP in the config
like:

namespace inbox {
  mailbox Spam {
    special_use = \Junk
  }
}


Our webmail allows users to use an arbitrary folder for Spam, and we have this
settings and we'd like to return it in from our UserDB (which is a custom
dict proxy).

For testing were able to set a namespace parameter like "separator" by
returning:
"namespace/inbox/separator" : "=",

from UserDB, but can't figure out a way to set mailbox settings,

"namespace/inbox/mailbox Spam/special_use" : "\Junk", for
example doesn't work.

Is there a way to return this setting from a UserDB query?

we use this a lot with userdb to allow individual folders marked as special.
your userbd-query should return something like this:

namespace/inbox/mailbox=Junk namespace/inbox/mailbox/Junk/name=Spam 
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Junk/auto=subscribe 
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Junk/special_use=\Junk
Spam is visible name in this case.
