The goal would be to at least have maildir be selectable in the
Advanced Configuration dialog at the time of account creation. This
is the existing UI, and it works for POP3 but not for IMAP (which
needs fixing). So the current UI, once we get the IMAP Advanced
Dialog to work, is close to what we want.<br>
<br>
Obviously we also need a method to migrate from one form to another.<br>

I disagree. I don’t think most people care what the underlying
storage format is, and so once we believe maildir is at an
acceptable level of stability and performance, we should just
switch to it automatically. (Only for new accounts at first, so
that we don’t hang people’s machines on upgrade. ;) But perhaps
we could also provide an “Upgrade storage format” button that had
a progress bar and stuff in a later version.)

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000099" class=""> I managed
to setup maildir and since I have almost 20GB of emails
(some folders contain around 12000 messages), I will be
able to see if it works or not. :)<br class="">
<br class="">
Anyway, my initial impression is that maildir visibility
when creating new mail account is BAD.<br class="">
I spent 30 min and 4 profile deletions until I found out
HOW to enable MailDir.<br class="">
If you just installed TB, you will be prompted with
account creation wizard. That wizard has NO reference to
maildir at all. To enable it, you must go trough whole
wizard, setup everything, but don't click "FINISH".<br
class="">
When you have setup everything, go advanced setting, and
then find your account, go to SERVER SETTINGS, then on
very bottom, there is small text "TYPE OF MESSAGE
STORAGE", switch to maildir and OK.<br class="">
<br class="">
This is not very intuitive and most people will not even
know maildir exists. Type of storage should me inside
accout setup wizard.<br class="">

(you can edit to suit your requirements). There are 5

3 may or may not affect you. <br class="">
