Message folders
Beyond this point, these options only apply
to the Professional Edition of MailMan. The Standard Edition
does not store users' messages and does not write files
of any kind to the web server that it is installed on, so
it cannot offer the features described beyond this point.
The reason for the rule against writing files is because
system administration is extremely simple with the Standard
Edition. Once you set up the Standard Edition, it's set
up, there is nothing else to do. You never need to worry
about whether it is writing too many files to your hard
drive because it just doesn't write files of any kind.
If you are using the Professional Edition,
however, then your users will have a few more options. One
of them is organizing the messages that they have downloaded
into folders. This is what the folder listing looks like
in the out-of-the-box interface templates that come with
MailMan. You can easily customize this to look like pretty
much anything that you like. Your users have three standard
system folders by default, "INBOX", "SENT"
and "TRASH". They can also create and delete additional
user folders.
Mail stored in user folders is subject
to MailMan's quota system, which allows you to specify the
maximum size that any user's message folders are allowed
to consume. Once the user has gone over quota MailMan will
present the user with a warning that they have gone over
quota and that no new messages can be downloaded from the
POP3 server until they free up some space.
