GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 315944
With Evo-2.4 I can't simultaneously access all my folders with IMAP/IMAP4rev1
Last modified: 2006-05-01 21:46:15 UTC
If I set my account type to IMAP, then my folders under mail/ on the server all show up. That's good. But my inbox on the server doesn't show up. That's bad. If I set my account type to IMAP4rev1, then I get my inbox on the server. Yaay! However, it doesn't show any of the folders under mail/ on the server. :-( I've now switched back and forther between these two account types several times without changing anything else and this happens every time. Is there any way to simultaneously access both?
I'm having the same problem, but I cant even see my inbox using IMAP4rev1. Subfolders only work using IMAP.
Make sure that the INBOX is subscribed. This should fix the issue in IMAP. Please don not use IMAP4rev1, since its experimental, and is not guranteed to work.
My INBOX mas marked as subscribed, but unsubsribing and resubscribing 'fixed' it.
I seem to have to repeat this procedure on every startup though ..
How do I subscribe to another folder? When I go to Folder->Subscriptions, it only lists the folders under "mail", and doesn't give me anywhere to enter anything new. (If I type in "INBOX" anyway, a little popup entry comes up, but as soon as I press enter it just goes away without doing anything). If I select Folder->New, nothing happens.
You can subscribe/unsubscribe folders only from the Folder->Subscriptions menu. The Folder subscription dialog has the list of all the folders that can be subscribed to (or unsubscribed). Inbox should surely be present there.
Yes, should definitely be there. But it isn't.
Elijah, the problem might be because of multiple namespaces. IMAP on Evo does not support multiple namespaces, where as IMAP4rev1 does. We are planning the support for multiple namespaces on IMAP for 2.6, the status of which wud be put on the wiki page go-evolution.org Thanks.
I don't know if this is the same thing, but I can't see my Inbox either, but can see my mail folder... When I try to subscribe to the Inbox, I get a dialog saying: Unexpected response from IMAP server: 6573:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:bss_file.c:104:fopen('server.pem','r') I'm pretty sure this is Solaris IMAP implementation.
When I upgraded from Evolution 2.2.3 to 2.4.0, my INBOX disappeared. It isn't in my Folder->Subscriptions box, and I've anyway got "Show only subscribed folders" turned off. If I "Override server-supplied folder namespace" to "INBOX", I see the inbox (but not my other folders); if I set it back to the server-supplied "Mail/", I see the rest of my folders again but not INBOX. Reverting to Evolution 2.2.3 made the problem disappear, and it came back when I re-upgraded to 2.4.1. Server is UW imapd from Debian Sarge.
Uh, this bug should definitely not be marked as an enhancement. ;-) It is impossible to read my email with evolution due to this bug (unless I use IMAP4rev1 which you guys have explicitly told me not to do), and I have been forced to use that archaic program known as pine for the last couple months.
bug 317518 comment 9 provided a really kludgy workaround but hey, I can use Evolution again! SWEET!!!
Jeff fixed it. Yaay. :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 315976 ***
