Subject: Re: [Jmap] Destroying mailboxes: how this affects messages

Hi,

At Linagora, we have a "All mail" mailbox displayed in our front-end. We simply get this using a GetMessageList request (hence the mailbox do not exist, we can say the "all mail" mailbox is virtual).

It solves the "All Mail" problem without enforcing any server specific behaviour, just requires a little bit smarter client.

Cheers.

Have a mailbox called "all" that every message is always in. Or, as you say, make it an error to delete a non-empty mailbox. But I prefer "all" because enforcing that restriction could be incompatible with a label-based inbox paradigm, where we would expect labels to potentially be quite ephemeral.
