Folder quirks in an IMAP account with use_lsub and no subscriptions
Last modified: 2013-09-14 16:48:53 UTC
I cannot connect to my IMAP account with all Evolution/E-D-S versions since 2.3.6/1.3.6. The account is configured to use a custom command for connection, which is "ssh -C -l %u mail.altlinux.ru exec /usr/sbin/imapd". The IMAP account tree appears collapsed on startup. Expanding it gives only a placeholder progress item, which stays indefinitely. With versions 2.3.5/1.3.5 on the same configuration, the account tree is initially expanded and mail retrieval proceeds as normal.
Created attachment 51793 [details] Debug output This log was produced using the following steps: 1. Run evolution with debug envars: CAMEL_DEBUG=all E2K_DEBUG=1 evolution-2.4 2. Attempt to expand the IMAP account tree 3. Close the application
2.3.6 is broken
The report was produced with 2.3.8. I observe this on 2.4.0 as well.
It turns out IMAP works after all; I'm downgrading the severity and changing the summary accordingly. After I subscribed to Inbox, it appeared in the tree, but the Inbox folder icon was plain and the "Loading..." placeholder was still there. Disabled the account and enabled it back, now it's got Spam and Trash as well, each folder complete with appropriate icons, everything looks OK.
closing as fixed then?
