[jira] Commented: (IMAP-168) mailboxes can't be identified 100% unambiguously using virtual hosting

["Tim-Christian Mundt (JIRA)" <se...@james.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAP-168?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12883111#action_12883111 ] 

Tim-Christian Mundt commented on IMAP-168:
------------------------------------------

I'm not sure what mailbox names the email client gets. I believe it's without the namespace and the user's name, right? So this is independent of the name we have internally. Then I'd propose changing the separator between user (incl domain) and mailbox from "." to ":" like so:

#mail.user@domain.tdl:mailbox.sub

> When virtual hosting is enabled, mailbox names will be like
> #mail.user@domain.tld.INBOX.foo.bar
> However, those mailboxes could be misassigned. E.g.
> #mail.user@aa.bb.cc.dd
> could be a mailbox of user@aa.bb or user@aa.bb.cc
