Mail User ========= 'src/lib-storage/mail-user.h' describes mail user. The struct contains all kinds of useful information about the user that can be accessed directly. Some of the most useful things you can do with a user are: * 'user->username' gives you the actual username string (e.g. 'user@domain.org'). * 'user->set' gives you access to user's settings. * 'user->namespaces' points to a linked list of user's namespaces. * 'mail_user_get_home()' returns user's home directory, if there's one. * 'mail_user_home_expand()' expands '~/' at the beginning of given path to user's actual home directory. * 'mail_user_plugin_getenv()' returns value for a setting defined in 'plugin {}' section. Typically each new IMAP/POP3/etc. connection creates a single mail user. Currently multiple connections for same user don't even try to share the mail user, but this may change in future. If a user has shared mailboxes from other users (not public namespaces), a mail user is also created whenever necessary to list/access the user's mailboxes. Again there is no attempt to share the created mail user with other connections. (This file was created from the wiki on 2019-02-05 04:42)
