i may be wrong in my thinking about structuring 'email boxes', yet,
i have had many follow my basic layout and they worked their own.

as i said before, do not build below basic 'in, out, junk, trash'.

do add 'local', 'mymail', or 'what ever' as an addition to basic.

in t-bird's default 'local folders';

'linkin' is a directory where i make soft links to email files to build up
new 'pigeon holes'. from these, i tag all and *copy* to 'add/ev.mail/inbox'
or which ever.

after copy, i run filters on 'add' files to move new email under 'build'.

there may well be better ways for what i am doing, but it works for now. ymmv.


later.

I think the "box" (folders/directory) layouts are
arbitrary, you can setup your structures as you desire.
I have "boxes" both under "Inbox" and outside of "Inbox".
I could have easily moved all by "Inbox" sub-boxes outside
of "Inbox" if I wanted to.

The problem I ran into was that someone recommended
that I place an entry such as "Global Address List"
in the "IMAP server directory" field and in that
case, a "top-level namespace" was created and it
automatically added sub-boxes under the "Global
Address List", "Inbox", Trash", and "Junk". Clicking
on "Subscribe...", you may find that you cannot select
any existing "boxes" outside of your "IMAP server directory"
namespace, as I did.

My problem was solved by clearing the "IMAP server
directory" field and allowed me to "Subscribe..." to
all existing boxes in the global namespace.

FWIW,
Dan

Understood.

Just for self. Outlook clients that connect to Exchange
is a per-user/system configuration and is not globally set.
I just happened to set it up in this way and stuck with
it ever since. Note however, that you can create exchange
"rules" so that new email arrivals can be automatically
moved from "Inbox" into your pre-defined "boxes". It just
makes it easier for me to categorize/organize inbound email
messages.

No, it is not due to "ms ex 6" exclusively - it was setup
arbitrarily as explained earlier.

No problem!

Uh, I may have mis-read your statement. As for why the namespace
created used in "IMAP server directory", it seems to me that
a namespace "box" was created and excluded all global "boxes",
that, I am not sure why. I just noted the behavior. Maybe this
was intended by Thunderbird and not a function of "ms ex 6".
Again, I am not sure why. It just is.
