Property Value

MailFolderSpecialUse?

Remarks

It is a property of the folder rather than a way of finding it. A mapping naming a role alone carries it for both purposes, which is what such a mapping has always meant; a mapping naming a path may carry one as well, which is how a folder whose server advertises no attribute for it — INBOX.Spam on a server that never says \Junk — is still the folder a feature asking for this account's junk mail is given.

A role is unique within an account, so at most one mapping of an account carries any given value. Nothing here enforces that, because one mapping cannot see its siblings: it is refused where the account's folders are read together, which is when configuration binds.
