[Kolab-devel] Fwd: [pkg-kolab] Kolab shared folder userspace prefix

[Gunnar Wrobel]

Hi Mathieu,

I admit that I can't answer that question. I can only assume that this  
has been done to have the shared folders directly on the root of the  
folder tree. When I think of having shared calendars displayed in  
Outlook I believe it makes sense to present them on the root level in  
parallel with all folder within "INBOX" rather than hiding them in  
"shared/".

The fact that the "." in "shared.SOMETHING" had nothing to do with the  
namespace but is indeed just part of the folder name really bugged me  
when I did namespaces for Kolab_Storage.

Cheers,

Gunnar
