GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 251461
lacks shared mail folder support for Courier IMAP 2.2.0 and previous
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:32:21 UTC
Description of Problem: I use Courier IMAP 2.2.0 with fam (concurrent file/folder updates) support. This allows users todefine shared mail folders - a tremendous advantage for schools and anyother org that wishes to share certain data. Evo "sees" the sharedfolders, but can't do anything with them. Mozilla supports them fully -as does SquirrelMail and perhaps other clients. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Attempt to access shred folders that the above clients can access 2. Confirm that Evo mailer reports "This folder can not contain messages" 3. Actual Results: See above Expected Results: Access to shared folders by users in specified Unix groups How often does this happen? Always ;) Additional Information:

oops, not a dup of that bug afterall...
In my organization, we use shared folders to "feed" Spamassassin. If it incorrectly categorizes mail as spam, we move the subject message to a shared folder called "SiteHam" and if spam evades the filter, we move it to a shared folder called "SiteSpam." The purpose of this is that both folders are checked every few minutes by SpamAssassin to improve its filters. The point is: this has many valid, important uses. I can't believe that Evolution, which I use daily, lacks this feature that Thunderbird and so many other clients have. This bug is nearly three years old, are there *any* plans to implement this feature?
depends on bug #439156
As bug 413422 is FIXED in 2.30: Is this still an issue? On the other hand, this seems to be still an issue with cyrus-imapd (bug 678216).
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
