Unable to 'see' IMAP folders at same level of hierarchy as INBOX
Last modified: 2012-02-14 10:56:33 UTC
Please describe the problem: I'm connecting to my email server using IMAP. The structure of my mailboxes is as follows: inbox sent-mail draft trash spam archive---->work |-->school |-->home In Folders-->Subscriptions..., the only choice is 'inbox' and I am therefore unable to subscribe to any of the other mailboxes. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create mailboxes at same level in hierarchy as inbox on server. 2. Folders-->Subscriptions... Actual results: Only 'inbox' appears in folder list. Expected results: All of the folders that are being exported on the mailserver should appear. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: I enabled logging (export CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1) and, after launching evolution from the terminal (evolution --debug=evo.log &) I observed the following: sending : A00002 NAMESPACE received: * NAMESPACE (("mail/" "/")("" "/")) NIL NIL received: A00002 OK Namespace completed. sending : A00003 LIST "" INBOX received: * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" received: A00003 OK List completed. After reading RFC 3501 and RFC 2342, it's not apparent to me why A00003 has "INBOX" as the mailbox name. It appears that it's assuming a certain directory structure when it should be able to query the server for that information instead.
