General Remarks

This document describes the most important settings for the template that is used by the standard plugin implementations that come with the distribution. For more information please refer to:

• the preferences documentation
• the preferences persistence plugin documentation

In general the preferences represent a persistant form of the JwmaPreferencesImpl class, and there are three main issues to be understood:

1. The "key" to the preferences of a specific user is the identity attribute, which resembles <username>@hostname.domain (logically unique).
2. A new user's preferences will be created as a clone of the defined (sitewide) preferences template.
3. Not all of the preferences are editable by the user. Those that are not, are described below:

Non user editable settings (currently)

Attribute/Tag	Description
rootfolder	The user's default folder on the post office server. If left empty, jwma will use the folder returned by the Store's getDefaultFolder()method.
trashfolder	The user's trash folder on the post office server. If left empty, jwma will set this folder's path to <rootfolder path><folder seperator>Trash. If a name is given and it is not prefixed with <rootfolder path>, jwma will set this folder's path to <rootfolder path><folder seperator><given trash name>.
draftfolder	The user's draft folder on the post office server. If left empty, jwma will set this folder's path to <rootfolder path><folder seperator>Drafts. If a name is given and it is not prefixed with <rootfolder path>, jwma will set this folder's path to <rootfolder path><folder seperator><given draft name>.
