Folder structure for accounts

[vitis586]

Hello,

I am running this in a docker container. I want to save multiple folders from single account. As imapbox does not support multiple remote folders with one account, I just duplicated the account and use different remote folder for each. Everything works, but..

The config is as follows

[imapbox]
local_folder=/var/imapbox
days=365
wkhtmltopdf=/opt/bin/wkhtmltopdf

[account1]
host=imap.example.com
username=email@example.com
password=password
remote_folder=INBOX

[account2]
host=imap.example.com
username=email@example.com
password=password
remote_folder=archive

[account3]
host=imap.example.com
username=email@example.com
password=password
remote_folder=sent

Imapbox runs and downloads all the mail, but the folder structure is following

• home
  • INBOX
    • 2023
    • 2022
    • archive
      • 2023
      • sent
        • 2023

Imapbox runs and writes the email, but then does not go back to home and runs further in the account1 folder and that just continues. I would expect to have the remote folders as subfolders in home. I bet that it is something simple, but I am not on that level yet. :)

I am not sure how to name this issue, so you might come up with something better than I did.

Line 108 in 6c7f4a4

folders = str.split(account['remote_folder'], ',')

you should try with a comma, the readme is probably not up to date

Yes, you are correct. More remote folders are indeed supported that way. When I used remote_folder=INBOX,sent instead of multiple account, it went as expected. I would go with a separate container for multiple accounts anyway, because I would want a different local folders.
