Actually it is not possible to browse nested folders. We need to implement a tree view to display the folders hierachy.

First version in [0e7c3c9427a9]. More work is needed but this version will be ok for 0.8.

For example, the div where folders are displayed should be resizable, folders name that are too long should be hidden (at least the part that overflows).

Isn't this issue mostly implemented in the Modoboa 1.0.0 version in webmail that uses folder hierarchy to display subfolders?

It is. But it still needs improvement. I think I should rename this issue...

I was playing around a little bit and would like to ask whether using the Jquery resizable widget could be a way for Modoboa to go when it comes to resizing? Importing jquery.resizable.js, jquery.resizable.css and posting this code into webmail.js could may be a start:

$("#folders").resizable({ handles: "e" });
$("#folders").bind("resize", function(event, ui) {
    $("#menubar").css("left", ui.size.width + 15 + "px");
    $("#listing").css("left", ui.size.width + 15 + "px");
});

What do you say? Of course it does not work perfectly. It would not respect any other elements on page (thus could be minized to a fex pixels and maximized to full windows), the draggable side would need some styling etc.

I have made some patches and would like to share in order for others to test. In order to have the basic functionality of folders panel resizing, one needs to:

download necessary files jquery.resizable.js (from https://raw.github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/master/ui/jquery.ui.resizable.js) and jquery.resizable.css (from https://raw.github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/master/themes/base/jquery.ui.resizable.css). Of course, the JS version can be minified, but I used the source version for now.
patch the index.html file found in modoboa/extensions/webmail/templates/webmail/index.html (patch file attached)
patch the webmail.js file found in modoboa/extensions/webmail/static/webmail/js/webmail.js (patch file attached)
patch the webmail.css file found in modoboa/extensions/webmail/static/webmail/css/webmail.css (patch file attached)
patch the app_settings.py file found in modoboa/extensions/webmail/app_settings.py (patch file attached); this is my try to incorporate the settings for width, however, I don't know how to grab and store the value from Python, so consider this as the first step
patch the SOURCES.txt file (patch file attached); not sure though whether it is necessary or the file is autogenerated

That should be it and should give you the basic functionality which does 2 things:

it allows a user to resize the folders panel (only to the right starting at 200 px and ending at 400 px, which should be enough)
it also shortens long folder names and replaces the end of the long folder names with ellipsis

Please, use this attached webmail.js patch file; the previous one is copy pasted from my script and all "$" signes are escaped.

One more small change, this time in webmail.css file - according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-overflow, the "-ms-text-overflow" should not be used. I therefore attach a new patch file for webmail.css.

Sorry to post again, one more change - I added the grippy picture to the right of the folders div for it to be visibly resizable.
