[jira] [Commented] (JAMES-4099) Make mailbox folder delimiter configurable

["Benoit Tellier (Jira)" <se...@james.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-4099?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17909521#comment-17909521 ] 

Benoit Tellier commented on JAMES-4099:
---------------------------------------

+1 for making this configurable.

+1 for keeping '.' as a default.

However is it needed to be overly restrictive? I well see the next PR be "Hey please allow me to use '|' because GOOD_REASON and it had been anticipated"? If an admin touches this property he likely knows what he is doing....

> Currently, we use '.' as a constant hierarchical delimiter for mailbox folders.
> We believe this to be a suboptimal choice and think using '/' would serve better in general; however, changing the default is not desirable because it would break existing deployments. For this reason, we propose to add a configuration switch enabling to select a delimiter out of a list of suitable options (only '.' and '/' for now, with '.' being the default).
> This might also aid with #3545, where '.' as a delimiter is identified as a problem for JMAP as well.
