Description Ben Kahn 2001-07-20 23:32:51 UTC 
Talking with Dan about it, he says that it should only request partial
directories and not the whole directory tree each time.  My IMAP server
uses my home directory as the namespace and it takes several hours to list
all the files and folder I *could* pick.  Yes I can override the namespace,
but then I have a huge number of folder which I would like to be listed
under the mail directory but aren't.
Comment 1 Luis Villa 2001-07-20 23:41:56 UTC 
Hrm... is that really an evo problem? I'm tempted to think that the
solution to this is "fix your mail configuration." But if dan thinks
maybe that shouldn't be the case...
Comment 2 Ben Kahn 2001-07-21 16:36:52 UTC 
In other words, evolution should use
LIST %
and not
LIST *
when looking at directories. It should request each sub directory
like LIST mail/% as the need occurs. Getting the names of all 50000
files in my home directory isn't really acceptable esp. if I'll never
treat any but a few of those files as mail stores.
