Have you looked at using the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/squat annotation
and 'squatter -a'?
I'm thinking of a way to squat all mailboxes on the server, but cycle
through which ones get done that night.
Hmm. Squatter doesn't support wildcards?
There has been (still is?) discussion of an MSEARCH command which does
searching across folders. The undocumented SCAN command which is used
by Pine and UW IMAP is a LIST variant which will search or a string
and return the mailboxes (NOT messages) in which the string occurs.
This can help a client narrow its focus for the necessary SEARCHes. I
have a working patch to add SCAN to Cyrus which I may get back to.
Ooo. Both sound cool! I bet that would really help....
Only if a client uses it. ;)
In terms of "labels," can already do that in IMAP with user-definable
flags, something I've always thought was a missing opportunity in most
IMAP clients....
Mozilla/Thunderbird use IMAP keywords.
