101923 - IMAP Interoperability: Can't delete IMAP folders

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 115988

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[alge]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4+) Gecko/20010926
BuildID:    2001092608

Can't delete IMAP folder; IMAP server says RENAME failed; file exists

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.make new IMAP folder "cheese" (yummy)
2.select it
3.right-click on it, choose delete
4."yes" to "do you want to move this folder to Trash" or what-not

Actual Results:  I get this error message:
"The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: RENAME failed:
Can't create mailbox node /home/students/helgedt/Trash/: File exists."
Seems to me like mozilla tries to rename it to Trash in stead of moving it into
Trash? I don't know IMAP and I don't know how Mozilla deals with it so I might
be horribly wrong, but heck. (=

In my home dir at the server, I've got a Trash file and a cheese file.
Both contain a folder-internal message thingie made by the mailer-daemon.

Probably dup of bug 46365

Comment 2

Agreed, *kicks himself for not finding that one before posting bug*
But, this is a new aspect of bug 46365 because I have not deleted a folder
called "cheese" before.

Marking these all WORKSFORME sorry about lack of response but were very
overloaded here. Only reopen the bug if you can reproduce with the following steps:

1) Download the latest nightly (or 0.9.6 which should be out RSN)
2) Create a new profile
3) test the bug again

If it still occurs go ahead and reopen the bug. Again sorry about no response
were quite overloaded here and understaffed.

I am reopening this bug based on above reproter's comments since this is 
different as bug 46365.
If reporter cannot find the same existing "cheese" folder name from Trash 
Folder, then this should be another bug...

alge. looks like that you are using the IMAP4rev1 2000.287 IMAP server.
Can I know that "is this MS exchange 2000 or UW 2000 IMAP server"?
Can you attach a IMAP log here since we don't have those servers setup from our 
lab yet. You can get the IMAP log by setting as following:

For C Shell:
Add a line to  ~/.cshrc file of the csh shell as following: 
Set NSPR_LOG_MODULES IMAP:5 
Set NSPR_LOG_FILE /u/[unix userlogin]/tmp/[filename] 
(filename can be defined by you)
 
Please Note: /u/[unix userlogin] is just Netscape setup UNIX environment for 
each user. 
It could be /home/[unix userlogin] or  /[unix userlogin] depend on how your 
users environment setup.

Attachment: IMAP log

Bug is still there with 2001111506, blank profile.
And yes, IMAP4rev1 2000.287 (from the log).
The server is running debian so I doubt it's MS-something-something (:

.......

I am wondering to know why:
From your test description, you mentioned: "In my home dir at the server, I've 
got a Trash file and a cheese file"
And later from your comments, you mentioned: "I have not deleted a folder called 
'cheese' before"

Can you describe more clear whether you have "cheese" folder under your Trash 
folder or not?
Can you provide the exactly steps for us to reproduce this problem? 

Also, do you have UW IMAP 2000 test account for me to test? 
If yes, would you please send the server and user/passwd info to me? Thanks.

I have a Cheese _file_ and a Trash _file_ on the server. As in:
-rw-------    1 helgedt  students      507 Nov 16 18:47 Cheese
-rw-------    1 helgedt  students     2890 Nov 21 23:30 Mailbox
-rw-------    1 helgedt  students      507 Sep 27 10:42 Trash
drwx------    2 helgedt  students     4096 Sep 12 13:53 mail

To reproduce:
Open Mail/News. Right-click on the account ([e-mail]). Select "New
Folder". Type in name "Butter". Press OK for "Make new folder under:
[e-mail]". There is now a "Butter" folder for the account. Right-click
on it. Select "Delete folder". Press OK to confirm. Get error message: See bugdesc.

If that's not clear enough, look at the bug that was marked dupe of this one.

It's not my server so getting a testaccount might be not-that-easy. I'll try though.

Also seeing this bug. Here's the server's banner:
* OK [hostname] IMAP4rev1 v12.264 server ready

It's on a debian machine. APT identifies the package as:
Package: imap
Versions: 4.7c-1

Comment 12

[Henry Jia]

From the description, the server used is a UW IMAP server or similar. This bug
is duplicate of bug 115988 which has been resolved.
