  • move .imap files from user directory into their own directory.

    In my /sbbs/data/user/0001 directory I've got 2094 .imap files. While I'm not concerned about the number, I think it'd be nicer, neater to have these in their own 0001.imap directory.

    While not a priority, it would be good for the next major update so moving of the existing files can be done in the update.js file.

    Quick note... be sure the location they're in is auto-deleted when a user is deleted.

    I think I had this discussion with Digital Man and the outcome was that all xxxx and xxxx.* files are deleted when the user is deleted.

    Yes, but a `data/user/xxxx.*` subdirectory would not be automatically emptied/removed (currently, at least). The relevant code is `newuserdat()` in `userdat.c`.
