IMAP 43 (45) Folders
jabba | Oct 26 2005
I set up my 43 folders as IMAP folders on my Linux server. Actually, 45 folders - 1TODO is just regular Todos, that age and yell as they get older. "weekend" is stuff to take care of on the weekend. Using some ideas I got from a post on the Google Group, I enhanced the script. I posted it at http://jalcorn.net/weblog/pages/tickler2.html Careful, some of it is very specific to my setup. 4 Comments

Creating 43 IMAP folders isn't...Submitted by jabba on October 27, 2005 - 6:59pm.
Creating 43 IMAP folders isn't a trivial exercise, and the 43 folders concept works BECAUSE it rotates. A folder for each of the next 31 days, plus folders for the monthlies. In October, I don't care what day in december I will get my new license plates, I'll decide that when December comes. For things that are "hard dates", that's what a calendar is for. It's a rotating tickler system, not a calendar. » POSTED IN:
