Re: IMAP account retrieval problem (reprise) ad nauseum

So you changed the behavior of Zoe then ?

Because when I first installed Zoe, I had a mishap where Zoe attempted to index every file in my 
home directory (which included thousands of development source files and html files in "dev/" and 
"public_html/")  After cleaning out all the files newer than a certain date:

rm -f `touch -t YYYYMMDDHHMM STAMP; find "<ZOE>/Library/SZ/Mails/"  -type f -newer STAMP`

 I asked you how to configure Zoe to not process every file in the home directory and in your reply 
to this message:

https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4228135&forum_id=9709

You instructed me to include a limiting directive in the server field of account configuration such 
as:  "mail.foo.com/mail/" (instead of "mail.foo.com").  This worked fine and indexed both the 
default IMAP "INBOX" (which is NOT a real file, but a function of every IMAP server) as well as all 
IMAP mbox folders under "mail/".

At that time in this response:

https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4791118&forum_id=9709

I suggested that you might want to include a small blurp about the limiting functionality in the 
semi-grayed example text below the "Hostname" field.

Then at version 0.5.9 things changed again. You are now telling me that I must explicitly tell Zoe 
*every* mailbox to index ?  Why is "INBOX" not included in the default ?  I would imagine that 
including the default IMAP-reported "INBOX" would be the norm for 99% of most Zoe users.

Regardless, I created a file for each of the 6 mail accounts under:

<zoe>/Library/SZ/Configurations/Default/[email protected]

and inside each one included the following lines of text:

INBOX
/mail/

And started Zoe.  It did not retreive the mails from the inbox, but it did continue to retreive the 
mails from the "mail/" root IMAP directory.

I then changed the contents of each [email protected] file to be:

Inbox
/mail/

and then removed the trailing "mail/" from each imap "Hostname" in each account preferences, then 
restarted Zoe... same result.  then,

/INBOX
/mail/

ibid, then

/Inbox
/mail/

guess what ?  same result.

As an aside, in Outlook Express, when configured with "mail/" as the "Root folder path" my folder 
list shows the following IMAP folders:

Inbox
Sent
Drafts
Trash
<plus any manually configured folder names>

CRAP

now that i have 1) removed the trailing "mail/" from the Hostname field for my incoming mail server, 
and 2) added the properties file as the wiki suggests and zoe is now getting everything again and 
seems to be completely disregarding the [email protected] files completely:

11/23 12:14:30 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: ''
11/23 12:14:30 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: 'public_html'
11/23 12:14:31 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: 'public_html/index.html'

[...]

11/23 12:14:31 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: 'mail'
11/23 12:14:31 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: 'mail/Sent'
11/23 12:14:31 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: 'mail/Drafts'
11/23 12:14:31 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: 'mail/Trash'
11/23 12:14:31 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: 'mail/CBR900'
11/23 12:14:32 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: '.mailboxlist'
11/23 12:14:32 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: '.spamassassin'
11/23 12:14:32 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: '.spamassassin/user_prefs'
11/23 12:14:32 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: '.spamassassin/auto-whitelist'
11/23 12:14:32 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: '.spamassassin/bayes_msgcount'
11/23 12:14:32 (Debug) SZServiceAgent.messageFolders: '.spamassassin/bayes_toks'

[...]

Why did you have to change the behavior from 0.5.8 ?  it seemed so perfectly logical.
