Re: libglade and mailbox structure - opinion requested

[Stuart Parmenter <pavlov netscape com>]

sorry, my mail was a bit confusing.

here's how i think it should be:


root   (some "main" gnode)
|- imapserver \
|             |- inbox
|             |- mailbox \
|             |          |- submailbox
|             \- trash
|- directory \
|            |- mailbox1
|            |- directory \
|                         |- mailbox6
|            |- mhfolder \
|                        |- otherfolder
|- random mailbox
                
(ok, this isn't really that much clearer...)

so, I don't think mailboxes should hold on to MailboxNode's....  it
might be ok to put the information that is currently stored in them in
the mailbox.

so my idea is basically to have the idea of "top level objects" that
store mailboxes...

like a server, and as Pawel suggested a directory.

so all mailboxes would either have a directory or a server pointer and
they would be part of that object's gnode (if we keep mailboxnodes
around, the gnode would probably have them in it).  these gnodes would
be nodes in a "master" gnode which would get inserted in to the tree.


I hope this makes more sense.... I will post more info once I start
hacking on it to let you know what I think the best route to take is.
