Comment	>>> Ingo (the filter frontend) doesn't have much to do with IMP, e.g. >>> there is no way to notify Ingo if a folder name in IMP has changed. >>> More important though, the folders can be renamed outside of IMP too, >>> which would go completely unseen by Ingo. > > Jan is (mostly) correct ... we absolutely can't rely on Ingo having > any knowledge of the current state of the mailboxes on the server, > since there are a multitude of ways to change the mailboxes outside > of IMP. > > That being said... it should be possible to notify the user in the > following situation: > > 1) A mailbox is altered in IMP > 2) That mailbox is a member of one or more rules in the current > filtering backend. > > In this case, there is nothing wrong with reminding the user to > update their filters, as long as nothing is changed automatically. > Even better would be to link to an Ingo page that filters rules by a > mailbox name, so you can instantly see which rules are connected to > an individual mailbox. > > Reopening ticket for these two features. > >> I was wondering if folders could be tracked internally using some >> sort of IMAP folder ID which never changes despite the name change, >> but since you know tons more than I do regarding IMAP, I trust you >> when you say it's not feasible :) > > No. There is no IMAP equivalent to mailbox names as there is to > CONDSTORE/QRESYNC IMAP extensions (i.e. mod sequence values for > messages).
