evolution 2.8.0: can't subscribe to shared IMAP folders
Last modified: 2009-04-28 16:52:10 UTC
What were you doing when the application crashed? with evolution 2.8.0 I can't subscribe to shared IMAP folders (on a Courier-IMAP server) anymore as they don't even show up anymore (which used to work with evolution 2.6.x) Distribution: Ubuntu 6.10 (edgy) Gnome Release: 2.16.0 2006-09-04 (Ubuntu) BugBuddy Version: 2.16.0
hi herbert, under edit>preferences>mail accounts>edit>receiving emails, what is your setting under "server type"? should be "IMAP" nowadays, but perhaps it was "IMAP4rev1" which was removed for evolution 2.8.0 (see bug 324118)? for future reference, please file mailer bugs under component mailer. thanks.
indeed, I was using the IMAP4rev1 provider previously so from what I gather from bug 324118, I guess it's not a defect, but rather an enhancement request for imap-namespace support in the recommended IMAP provider, and I guess bug 317178 comes closest jfyi, I filed this bug through evolution's Help->Submit Bug Report, which called Bug Buddy, which didn't provide any way to define the component... :-)
on the other hand, bug 320284 seems to apply as well here, insofar as that overriding the namespace in the IMAP preferences with an empty "" namespace, doesn't let other namespaces show up, which I would have expected even if there's no explicit support for rfc2342, as they would show up when using the imap-LIST command: my server has the following folders: a02 NAMESPACE * NAMESPACE (("INBOX." ".")) NIL (("#shared." ".")("shared." ".")) a02 OK NAMESPACE completed. a06 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "shared.Report.Ham" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "shared.Report.Spam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Drafts" * LIST (\Unmarked \HasChildren) "." "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "shared.Report" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "shared" a06 OK LIST completed
Hi, I was wondering what it would take for this bug to get a little attention. Apparently this was working with evo 2.6, then in 2.8 the IMAP4rev1 provider was removed/disabled. What needs to be done to to get the IMAP4rev1 up to par and how can I help, if possible, to resolve this bug. This has become a bit of a show stopper for me and has me jumping between Thunderbird, for email, and Evolution for my Calendering/Todo/... Other bugs that also are related to this issue: bug 375633 bug 439156 bug 498475 bug 513690 bug 546704 My installation: Ubuntu 8.04 Gnome 2.22.3 Evolution 2.22.3.1
I split the imap4 code out of evolution to make it standalone installable (and sync changes back to evolution's branch). It's in GNOME svn in a module called camel-imap4 AFAIK, it should work with Evolution 2.22 (minus bugs?) A big problem is that it's seen as too risky as it's a huge chunk of new, untested, code that nobody really understands but me, and I left the prject several years ago (altho am still getting spammed by bugzilla mail).
Thanks for the quick response Jeffrey. I'm going to download the code and start testing it. Sorry to hear you left the project, is there any maintainers in case I was to supply patches if any fixes are required?
yea, there are current Evo maintainers - send your patches to evolution-patches@gnome.org (I think?) which I am also subscribed to afaik and attach them to a bug report as well (as a backup to make sure they aren't lost). I'd be happy to provide patch review.

Just attach any patches to a bugzilla report.
Marking as a duplicate of the later because it contains some sort of patch for this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 413422 ***
