Thu Mar 13 08:36:12 CET 2008

Additional folder type
----------------------

In addition to the <type>s defined in

http://kolab.org/doc/kolabformat-2.0rc5-html/c154.html

Horde now allows the type "prefs".

Format Of Preferences
---------------------

The mimetype for preferences is "application/x-vnd.kolab.prefs". This
is the specification of the body contents:

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <prefs version="1.0">
          <!-- Common fields -->
          <uid>(string, no default)</uid>
          <body>(string, default empty)</body>
          <categories>(string, default empty)</categories>
          <creation-date>(datetime, no default)</creation-date>
          <last-modification-date>(datetime, no default)</last-modification-date>
          <sensitivity>(string, default public)</sensitivity>
          {<inline-attachment>(string, no default)</inline-attachment>}
          {<link-attachment>(string, no default)</link-attachment>}
          <product-id>(string, default empty)</product-id>

          <!-- Preferences specific fields -->
          <prefs>(string, default empty)</prefs>
        </prefs>

See 

http://kolab.org/doc/kolabformat-2.0rc5-html/c183.html

for the description of the common fields.

There can be any number of "prefs" elements. Each client is free to
choose the desired format within these fields as appropriate.
