I think it would be better for Haiku to *suggest* a standard for folders, and applications can create them when needed. It should still be configurable by the user of course. > Tracker may also come pre-configured to show relevant attributes for each > folder. I suppose we could create some standard folder MIME-types as well, which could be applied when the folders are created. The pictures-folder MIME type could cause Tracker to show thumbnails by default. > Why is mail different from pictures? What if I want it elsewhere, or in a > pendisk?

In my opinion mail should be like any other folder and should be created when needed, as I suggest above. I too might never use email on Haiku because I tend to use Gmail pretty much 100%. > The only folder into home I find different is config.
