GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 317919
Selecting folder with subfolders shows alert
Last modified: 2008-11-19 14:53:53 UTC
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu/Breezy I have an IMAP account which has the following layout: + INBOX + Stuff + Sub folder 1 + Sub folder 2 The Stuff folder doesn't contain any emails, and isn't selectable, but every time you click on it (e.g. by accident or using the arrow keys to scroll through the folder) I get a really annoying popup window saying: -- Error while Opening folder imap://crispin@imap/Stuff;noselect=yes. No such folder Stuff -- This popup should not be shown.
paste CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG traces of evolution, that would help to find out y this error message popsup
This is the portion of the trace from when clicking on the folder (this would be like clicking on 'Stuff' in the folder hirearchy above): CamelStore('imap://xxxxxx@imap.theflowerdays.com/;command=ssh%20-C%20-l%20%25u%20%25h%20exec%20/usr/sbin/imapd;use_ssl=always;check_all;use_lsub;filter;filter_junk'):get_folder('Linux', 0) = 0x87c6ad4 < b271cbb0 > sending : A00060 SELECT Linux received: A00060 NO SELECT failed: Can't open Linux: not a selectable mailbox CamelException.setv(0x8bbe0d0, 301, 'IMAP command failed: SELECT failed: Can't open Linux: not a selectable mailbox')
Errors are now shown in the status bar, and you have to click the status bar to show the full error dialog. So the intrusive aspect of this is addressed now (though I still think we could do better). The error message itself is coming from the IMAP server, and those errors should be reported to the user. I don't think we should attempt the losing battle of trying to parse and act on server error descriptions. Closing as FIXED.
