# Mail Tag Projection
|
|
|
|
This context describes a mailbox view that groups messages by plus-address tags while retaining one authoritative message and state.
|
|
|
|
## Language
|
|
|
|
**Source Maildir**:
|
|
The authoritative Maildir whose messages and shared state are exposed through tag folders.
|
|
_Avoid_: Source directory, original folder
|
|
|
|
**Plus tag**:
|
|
The complete suffix after the first `+` in a recipient address local-part. A plus tag identifies one flat tag folder.
|
|
_Avoid_: Label, category, nested tag
|
|
|
|
**Tag folder**:
|
|
A mailbox folder containing projections of every source message carrying its plus tag.
|
|
_Avoid_: Physical folder, copied mailbox
|
|
|
|
**Tag namespace**:
|
|
The separately mounted Dovecot namespace that contains all generated tag folders.
|
|
_Avoid_: Overlay, destination directory
|
|
|
|
**Message projection**:
|
|
An appearance of a source message in a tag folder. Multiple projections share the source message's state and lifetime.
|
|
_Avoid_: Copy, duplicate
|
|
|
|
**Mailbox hierarchy separator**:
|
|
The configured Dovecot namespace character that separates mailbox levels and therefore must be escaped when it occurs inside a flat plus tag.
|
|
_Avoid_: Maildir delimiter, tag separator
