Hi all

i work for a small company that is trying to define REST URLs for email
messages. Proposed URL pattern got challenged by one of our colleagues
saying IMAP email messages require also the nested folder structure to
retrieve an email message.

so instead of REST URL looking like

server.com\mail\mailbox-id\message-id

proposed url is

server.com\mail\mailbox-id\folder1-id\folder2-id\.......\message-id

I dont have enough IMAP knowledge to confirm this. I would appreciate
if this concern is true. Created email resource url should be able to
retrieve email from different backend including an imap server.

It would be great if you can point me to some supporting information
too.

Thank you.

Why not just use IMAP URLs (RFC 2192), which are quite a bit more powerful
than what you propose?
