3788.0. "Change standard folder names - READ, OUTBOX, INBOX etc" by WAYOUT::CLARKE () Thu Jan 20 1994 17:15

In ALL-IN-1 V3.0 can you change the standard folder names such as READ, INBOX 
etc. I though it was something to do with oa$data:system_folders.dat but have
changed this to no avail. I'm sure this question must have been asked before 
but cannot find it.

If so ...

The customer wants to use this to rename the READ and OUTBOX folders to 
WASTEBASKET. This is a poor mans implementation of MJU to get rid of old mail 
when EW runs. Apart from the impact on users of this (which he accepts) can
anybody think of obvious technical downfalls - personaly I don't like the idea
of it.

Thanks

    Aston,
    
    Unfortunately there are two places where the names of system folders
    are stored. SYSTEM_FOLDERS.DAT is for the file cabinet server, whilst
    ALL-IN-1 IOS would need to be customised. I believe the module to look
    at is OAET.MAR which sits in OA$BUILD. Other than that I'll leave more
    details to someone more knowledgable in this area.

    You rang sir?
    
    Yes, Kevin is right, change the folder names *exactly in sync* with the
    ones in SYSTEM_FOLDERS.DAT to make IOS behave the same as the File
    Cabinet Server. You can change OAET.MAR with CM, but you have to relink
    ALL-IN-1 afterwards. You'll probably need to stop and start the FCS as
    well.
    
    Now what the implications on the rest of the system might be, I'll pass
    you onto Stuart...

    You will definetly need to stop/start the FCS.
    
    One thing to consider. there is a bug against the FCS that it 
    puts sent mail into the OUTBOX. Note that I said the OUTBOX, not the
    I18N for it. That's right, OUTBOX is hard coded in. not a hard fix
    but to my knowledge it hasn't been fixed yet. Sorry don't know
    the THR number.

    How about message files containing system folder names?
    You should check them too!

3788.5The customer is always right, but ...IOSG::MAURICEI left my heart in AlcatrazMon Jan 24 1994 09:0410
    I don't like the sound of all this. In V3.0 I think there were some
    restrictions that will be very hurtful. For example I think you
    couldn't answer messages that are in the WASTEBASKET.
    
    It must be cheaper to buy the MJU than the cost of this customisation.
    Especially when it comes bundled in with the PFR.
    
    Cheers

Quite, it is because the customer has caught wind of this that he doesn't want
to buy MJU.

Thanks for all your inputs.
