Indeed.

Things I'd like to see considered:

  - How will mail folders behave? I'm thinking being able to actually 
add a comment to them (think "pop-up help/comment to explain usage") 
might be useful. This might mean 'comment' should remain a comment (how 
is it defined for mail?) and so we might want to add an annotation 
/vendor/kolab/name, perhaps.

  - How to behave wrt public/private name space? I guess the admin would 
set the public, and that'd be the default unless a private annotation is 
also set. This could be the case for both comment and/or name 
annotations.

So there would be a global default behaviour, and full flexibility for 
users to rename (e.g. John's "work" box becomes "Work for John" for Jim) 
and change comments (e.g. "All outgoing sales communications" could 
become "Folder for the sales team, do not add/remove mails" for someone 
else). Perhaps not the most useful examples, but I guess the idea 
becomes clear enough.

Best regards,
Georg
