Description of Problem:


Steps to reproduce the problem:

folders under INBOX as adjacent to INBOX
(alternate view in Cyrus)
2. Attempt to create a subfolder of any folder listed

Actual Results:
Alert: "Cannot create specified folder: Generic Error"

Expected Results:
Create the folder

How often does this happen?

Additional Information:
Tested against Cyrus IMAPD 2.1.9

Please resubscribe to folders.
Comment 2 Gerardo Marin 2002-11-23 02:10:13 UTC 
Reopen this report if that doesn't work for you.
Comment 3 Scott Douglass 2002-11-23 08:58:20 UTC 
Tried unsubscribe/subscribe on all folders several times. Tried
deleting account and recreating account all together. Tried deleting
all evolution settings and starting from scratch. Then tried
unusubscribe/subscribe again. Still get "Generic error" when
attempting to create sub folder. I have been using the trick of
creating the folder at the root level, and moving it into the folder I
want it to be in mentioned in another bug report related to the UW
IMAP server. I think the alternate namespace of cyrus corresponds to
the same namespace as the UW IMAP server, so maybe this is the same bug.
